David Austin Darcey Bussell Shrub Rose 6L

Named after the highly acclaimed ballerina, the Darcey Bussell English Shrub Rose from David Austin Roses is rich and vibrant. When young, the outer petals of each bloom form a perfect ring around an inner cup, gradually opening out to form a perfect, medium-large rosette. The colour is a deep, rich crimson-pink, taking on a tinge of mauve just before the petals drop. It forms a compact shrub with attractive bushy growth.

Introduced in 2006, this rose is suitable for all soil types and prefers full sunlight. It is ideal for brightening up a mixed border or for celebrating in a rose border. Versatile, the shrub can also be enjoyed in pots and containers, or for cutting and enjoying in your home.

After approximately three years of annual pruning, the Darcy Bussell will be about 110cm tall and 110cm wide, with a delicious fruity scent and medium sized blooms. As a repeat flowerer, this bush will give you fragrant flushes of flowers from late spring to early winter.
