About David Austin® Scarborough Fair Potted Rose Bush
Rosa ‘AUSoran’ Scarborough Fair
Scarborough Fair is a delightful English Shrub Rose bred by David C. H. Austin in the UK in 2003 and introduced in the USA by David Austin Roses (USA) in 2005. Inspired by the traditional English folk song, it forms compact, bushy shrubs with abundant sprays of soft pink, semi-double rosettes. Known for its moderate old-rose fragrance and exceptional health, it gracefully blooms from late spring through the first frost.
