David Austin Princess Alexandra Of Kent Shrub Rose 6L

The Princess Alexandra of Kent English Shrub Rose from David Austin Roses is vibrant and beautiful. The unusually large, bright pink flowers are full-petalled and deeply cupped. In spite of their size, they are never clumsy, being held nicely poised on a well-rounded shrub. There is a strong and delicious fresh Tea fragrance, which changes to lemon, eventually taking on hints of blackcurrants. The rose is named for Princess Alexandra who is Queen Elizabeth II's cousin and a keen gardener and lover of roses.

Introduced in 2007, this rose is suitable for all soil types and thrives in partial or full sunlight. It is ideal for brightening up mixed borders or celebrating in rose hedges. Versatile, the shrub also does well in pots and containers, for a more mobile splash of colour and scent.

After approximately three years of annual pruning, the Princess Alexandra of Kent will be about 125cm tall and 125cm wide, with a delicious strong tea scent and large blooms. As a repeat flowerer, this bush will give you fragrant flushes of flowers from late spring to early winter.
