SHARIFA ASMA (Ausreef)
English Shrub/Climbing Rose. 1996. 5ft plus
David Austin English Roses
A lovely rose of true Old Rose charm. The blooms are shallowly cupped
at first, the petals reflexing to form a perfect rosette.
A most delicate blush pink, fading to almost white on the outer petals.
The growth is short and upright.
A distinctive and beautiful fragrance with fruity notes reminiscent of
white grapes and mulberry.
Named after a member of the Omani Royal family.
SHROPSHIRE LASS (Aus)
English Shrub/Climbing Rose. 1968. 5ft plus
An Alba Rose hybrid, retaining much of the charm of its
parent.
Large, flat, almost single flowers of the most delicate
flesh pink colouring, fading gradually to white with a
prominent bunch of stamens.
A robust shrub that is hardy and disease resistant,
which would probably do well in less than ideal conditions.
A strong and delicious fragrance in the English Rose,
myrrh tradition.
Summer flowering and also makes a superb climber.
Very hardy.
One of the earlier English Roses.
SIR WALTER RALEIGH (Ausspry)
English Shrub Rose. 1985. 3ft-4ft.
Rich crimson pink blooms when fully open show golden
stamens in the centre.
The elegant blooms are borne singly with a good repeat
flowering cycle.
Dark green semi-glossy foliage which has good disease
resistance.
The growth is strong and bushy with large leaves in
proportion with the flowers. Rather like a Tree Peony.
Superb Fragrance.
Named to commemorate the founding if the first English
speaking colony in America and the English explorer and politician (1554- 1618)
