Description: Soft in color but full of character, the English Rose AUStritch—often called “Imogen” by gardeners—stands out for its ruffled, button-eyed blooms in gentle shades of pale lemon. The flowers open a light yellow and slowly fade to cream, giving the plant a subtle, shifting glow throughout the season. Its fragrance is light and fresh with a fruity, apple-like note that suits its delicate appearance. With a naturally tidy, upright habit and dependable repeat flowering, AUStritch is a graceful choice for borders, hedging, or cottage-style plantings, bringing elegance without demanding attention.
