David Austin The Country Parson Shrub Rose 6L

The Country Parson English Shrub Rose from David Austin Roses is beautiful and floral. A pretty yet feisty rose of Scottish descent, it bears open, medium-large, almost flat rosettes of pure yellow. The petals appear gracefully translucent towards the outer edges of each bloom creating an illuminated effect. There is a delicious medium-strong fruity fragrance with notes of sweet apricot, green apple and honey. A rounded medium-sized shrub whose little spiny thorns mingle with small, greyish-green leaves. A very healthy and robust rose, producing continuous, plentiful blooms from June through to the first frosts. It is named after James Woodforde’s diary ‘The Diary of a Country Parson’.

Introduced in 2020, this rose is suitable for all soil types and prefers full sunlight. It is ideal for brightening up mixed borders or celebrating in rose borders and hedges.

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