The Ancient Mariner (Ausoutcry) is an English shrub rose from David Austin which produces masses of large, mid pink flowers with a medium-strong Myrrh fragrance.
This charming rose has a bushy upright habit and produces large, mid pink blooms which pale towards the edges. Each bloom has layers of petals and a fragrance, which is a classically light and delicate to enjoy throughout the summer months.
This rose will reliably repeat flower making it the perfect choice for growing in a rose border or combined with other plants in mixed borders. When growing this rose in a border, we recommend planting it in groups of the same variety for an impressive display. It also looks charming in a large pot to enjoy its fragrance-filled flowers positioned near entrances and doorways.
Introduced in 2015, the name of this strikingly beautiful shrub rose was inspired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poem, 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' which was published in 1798.
