About David Austin® Lady Emma Hamilton® Potted Rose Bush
Rosa ‘AUSbrother’ — David Austin® Lady Emma Hamilton®
🧬 Breeder: David C. H. Austin
🌹 A richly fragrant English Shrub rose glowing with sunset tones of tangerine, apricot, and amber gold.
Lady Emma Hamilton® is one of David Austin’s most celebrated English roses—loved for its extraordinary fragrance, dramatic coloring, and romantic old-world bloom form. Each deeply cupped flower opens in layers of warm apricot, orange, and golden yellow petals, while the outer petals are brushed with hints of copper-red, creating a luminous effect that seems to glow in the garden like a summer sunset.
Its fragrance is equally unforgettable. Rich notes of ripe pear, citrus, and grape mingle with classic rose perfume to create one of the most distinctive and intoxicating scents in the David Austin collection. The blooms appear repeatedly throughout the season, standing beautifully against striking dark bronze-red young foliage that matures into deep green.
Compact yet full and vigorous, Lady Emma Hamilton® is ideal for garden borders, decorative containers, cottage gardens, and cutting gardens alike. Whether planted near a patio where her fragrance can be enjoyed up close or woven into a romantic mixed border, this rose brings warmth, elegance, and unmistakable character to every space.
