- Title: Lady of Shalott - David Austin English Rose
- Description: David Austin and his team consider 'Lady of Shalott' one of the most reliable and hardy roses they have produced. It is highly resistant to disease and blooms with remarkable continuity throughout the season. The young buds are a rich orange-red and open to form apricot-hued chalice-shaped blooms filled with loosely arranged petals. Each petal has a salmon pink upper side that contrasts beautifully with the attractive golden-yellow reverse side. Its warm Tea Rose fragrance has pleasing hints of spiced apple and cloves. The rose quickly forms a large, bushy shrub with slightly arching stems. The mid-green leaves have attractive, slightly bronzed tones when young. Excellent repeat-flowering. Grows to approximately 4 ft tall x 3 1/2 ft wide. 'Princess Alexandra of Kent' is a gardener's dream, blooming itself silly from early summer through frost, no fussing needed. Its luscious glowing pink flowers are unusually large with 130 petals each. Poised on strong stems, the dense deeply-cupped roses cover the bush from top to bottom all season long. It is one of the most fragrant English Roses, with a lovely classic Tea Rose fragrance that evolves as the flower matures to a delicious lemon scent with hints of blackberry. It grows 4 ft tall by 3 ft wide. This is an extremely healthy rose that handles widely varied conditions including challenging heat and humidity. RHS "Award of Garden Merit."
