For spring 2018, David Austin Roses introduces ‘Roald Dahl’ to U.S. and Canadian gardeners. The new English Rose has a delicious Tea fragrance, is a remarkably strong repeat bloomer and is highly disease-resistant, according to Michael Marriott, the technical director and senior rosarian of David Austin Roses in Albrighton, England. Two other English Rose varieties new to North America complete an impressive introductory line up: pretty ‘Imogen’ has soft lemon yellow flowers with a rare button eye of the type seen in antique Gallica and Damask roses, while ‘Bathsheba’ adds a fragrant climber with big beautiful apricot flowers to the Austin collection.
