David Austin Charles Darwin Shrub Rose 6L

Named after the celebrated naturalist from Shropshire, the Charles Darwin English Shrub Rose from David Austin Roses is opulent and uplifting. The flowers are very full and rounded at first, later opening up to shallow cups. They are yellow in colour, tending almost towards mustard, and have a strong, delicious fragrance, varying between soft floral tea and pure lemon. It makes a sturdy shrub with broad, spreading growth.

Introduced in 2003, this rose is suitable for all soil types and thrives in partial or full sunlight. It is ideal for brightening up a mixed border or celebrating in a rose hedge. Alternatively, it does well in pots and containers for a more mobile splash of colour and scent.

After approximately three years of annual pruning, the Charles Darwin will be about 110cm tall and 140cm wide, with a delicious tea scent and large blooms. As a repeat flowerer, this bush will give you fragrant flushes of flowers from late spring to early winter.
