About David Austin® Charles Darwin Potted Rose
Rosa 'AUSpeet' Charles Darwin
A masterful blend of strength and elegance, Charles Darwin™ is a deeply cupped, full-petaled English rose in a rich shade of soft yellow to ochre, depending on weather and age. Its blooms are large and globular, held gracefully on a bushy, upright shrub with healthy, mid-green foliage. One of its most memorable traits is its exceptional fragrance—a bold, complex tea scent layered with hints of citrus and soft musk, making it a standout in any garden. Robust and repeat-flowering, this variety performs beautifully in beds, borders, or as a fragrant feature near a path or seating area. Named after the legendary naturalist, it brings both refinement and resilience to the garden.
