AUSmum

Description:
The English Rose AUSmum is a distinctive David Austin variety, known to many gardeners by the name “Pat Austin.” Its blooms are a rich blend of copper, apricot, and gold, with the deeply cupped flowers nodding slightly to reveal warm, glowing tones on the inner petals. The fragrance is strong and pleasantly tea-scented with fruity undertones. This variety has a slightly arching habit and blooms freely in flushes throughout the season. With its unique coloring, generous flower production, and solid health, AUSmum brings warmth and contrast to borders, mixed plantings, or cottage gardens.
