Roald Dahl David Austin Rose captures the warmth and whimsy of its namesake's stories with its charming apricot blooms. The flowers are a cheerful, soft apricot-orange, forming neat, many-petalled cups that nod gently on the stems. It shares the same excellent garden traits as 'Olivia Austin', flowering early and persistently even in partial shade. With its nearly thornless stems, healthy foliage, and compact habit, it is a friendly, easy-going rose that brings continuous, warm color to borders, pots, and difficult lightly shaded spots.
