About David Austin® The Generous Gardener® Potted Rose Bush
Rosa 'AUSdrawn' The Generous Gardener®
The Generous Gardener® lives up to its name with abundant, blush-pink blooms that glow with gentle elegance. Each flower opens into a soft, cupped rosette with a pearly sheen, releasing a complex fragrance of myrrh, musk, and old rose. This English shrub rose can also be trained as a climber, where its graceful arching growth and repeat flowering make it ideal for trellises and fences. It’s one of the most quietly refined and romantic varieties in the David Austin collection.
