Description

Olivia Austin David Austin Rose is an exceptional English Shrub Rose that combines exquisite beauty with remarkable garden adaptability. It produces perfectly cupped rosettes of the purest soft pink, packed with over 90 petals, and exudes a delightful, fresh apple fragrance. A standout performer, it begins flowering exceptionally early in spring and continues with great determination, even in locations receiving only a few hours of sun. Its compact, bushy, and very healthy growth makes it an unparalleled choice for small gardens, containers, or brightening shaded corners.

Exceptional for Shade & Early Bloom: One of the best roses for partial shade, flowering heavily with just 2-3 hours of sun and starting its display very early in the season.
Strong, Fresh Apple Fragrance: Carries a clean, sweet, fruity apple scent.
Compact, Healthy & Disease Resistant: Forms a neat, rounded, and very disease-resistant shrub, ideal for limited spaces.
Excellent Repeat Flowering: Blooms in generous, continuous flushes from late spring through fall.
