Rosa 'Ausmary'(MARY ROSE™) PPAF
English Shrub Rose, Shrub Rose
Beautiful, old-fashioned English rose looks are the first indicator that Mary Rose™ is one of the David Austin Collection. Its bowl-shaped double blooms are classic rose pink and bloom continuously all summer. The Mary Rose was King Henry the VIII’s flagship that was recently raised from the Solent (sea between England and the Isle of Wight) after sinking there some 400 years ago.
This deciduous, shrubby rose has stems lined with small, reddish thorns and leathery, dark green leaves. It blooms from early summer through frost with good care and maintenance. Flowering may occur earlier in southern zones. Its double flowers are bowl-shaped, fragrant and have loosely arranged petals.
Roses prefer full to partial sun, moderate temperatures and perfectly drained, slightly acid soil with average to good fertility. They grow best in places with slightly dry climates, because such climates disfavor the fungal diseases that plague them. For this reason, it is important to maintain good airflow within and between planted roses through good planting and pruning practices, which will dissuade fungal attacks. Roses are rife with pest and disease problems. This cultivar is somewhat disease resistant.
English roses are perfect for cottage gardens, old-fashioned borders and cutting gardens, especially pretty floriferous cultivars like this one.
