Rosa 'The Lady Gardener' 

Bears large, quartered rosettes, each about 4” across, packed with loosely arranged petals. They are a beautiful shade of pure apricot, paling towards the edges. There is a lovely Tea fragrance, with hints of cedar wood and vanilla. Named for Plant Heritage, who do so much to protect Britain’s garden plant diversity.

The Lady Gardener is among the most disease- and heat-resistant and incredibly floriferous of the David Austin English Shrub Roses. In nearly continuous flushes from Spring to frost, an abundance of large, fragrant, quartered, full-petaled rosettes in lovely shades of apricot paling towards the edges with a strong, Tea rose perfume with hints of cedar wood and vanilla. The flowers are excellent for cutting and displaying in a vase. Standing up to heavy rains, The Lady Gardener reaches about 4.5 feet tall and 4 feet wide, making it an excellent choice as a specimen in smaller gardens, flowering shrub borders, or as a hedge. She is a perfect choice for planting around patios and other outdoor sitting areas where her beautiful flowers and wonderful fragrance can be enjoyed from close up.
