Modern Roses: Rosa 'Ambridge Rose'

description for "Modern Roses: Rosa 'Ambridge Rose'"

'Ambridge Rose’ is part of the English Rose class developed by David Austin. 'Ambridge Rose' produces a nearly continuous stream of cupped blooms. Medium sized flowers that are nicely cupped at first, opening to form a loose rosette formation. Their color is a rich blend of warm apricot with pink outer petals that fade to a lighter shade, especially in hot weather. The shiny, medium-green foliage offers reasonable resistance to disease. Though the fragrance is light, the shrub never seems to be out of blooms. A fine English Rose myrrh fragrance. It flowers freely and continuously on neat, busy growth, and is suitable for the border and for bedding. The name commemorates a long-running British TV serial "The Archers." ‘Ambridge Rose’ is also available in a standard tree-form which is a specimen created by bud grafting on to a 36-inch tall single stem, or "trunk". – edited by dtd pbcouchman
