Description: The English Rose AUSland is a refined David Austin variety, known to many gardeners as “Scepter’d Isle.” It features soft, shell-pink blooms with a gentle blush of deeper pink at the center. The flowers are shallowly cupped with neatly arranged petals and are produced freely in clusters throughout the season. One of its most celebrated qualities is its strong myrrh fragrance, fresh and sweet with a classic English rose character. Tall, upright, and airy in habit, AUSland is well suited to borders, mixed plantings, and cottage-style gardens, where its delicate color and constant bloom draw attention without overwhelming the space.
