Features

notes

This beautiful, little known variety A Whiter Shade of Pale (eafanfare) forms a fairly compact bush from which burst forth perfectly formed, pale pink flowers with a strong, sweet fragrance that continue to bloom through summer and into the autumn. Image courtesy of David Austin Roses.

Please note, our roses are available to purchase all year round, so depending on the time of year your rose may either arrive in bloom or have been pruned or deadheaded appropriately for the season.

Insights
