Rosa ‘Charles Austin’ (Charles Austin English Shrub Rose) is a beautiful English rose admired for its large, richly cupped blooms in warm shades of apricot and soft peach. The flowers gradually soften in colour as they mature and carry an appealing fragrance, creating an elegant display against healthy green foliage. Its graceful, bushy growth makes it an attractive feature for garden beds, borders and traditional rose gardens.
A rewarding choice for gardeners seeking classic English rose character, Charles Austin combines beautiful colouring, fragrance and repeat flowering throughout the warmer months. Its generous blooms are also excellent for cutting and bringing indoors, while the established shrub provides lasting structure and seasonal interest in the garden. Plant in a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil and provide regular watering, feeding and pruning to encourage vigorous growth and abundant flowering.
