Description
Introducing the David Austin Rose – Queen of Sweden, a masterpiece crafted by the legendary David Austin. Delicately beautiful, its exquisite little buds unfurl into half-enclosed cups, blossoming into wide, shallow, upward-facing blooms of elegant formality. The journey of its color is a spectacle to behold, beginning as a soft-apricot pink and gracefully transitioning to pure soft pink over time, adding layers of visual intrigue to any garden. As if its aesthetic charm wasn't enough, the Queen of Sweden boasts a delightful myrrh fragrance, enveloping your senses in a captivating embrace with each breeze.
This regal rose isn't just a feast for the eyes and nose; it's also a stalwart presence in any garden. With its bushy yet upright shrub formation, it commands attention while seamlessly blending into mixed borders, rose hedges, rose borders, and even shady areas. Versatile in its adaptability, it thrives in various growing conditions, whether bathed in full sunlight or partial sunlight, and it flourishes in all soil types. Named in honor of the enduring Treaty of Friendship and Commerce between Sweden and Great Britain, the Queen of Sweden stands as a testament to the beauty of harmony and the enduring allure of nature's creations.
