Features

notes

In the gentlest of tones, Rosa Queen of Sweden (Austiger) produces charming, small apricot pink buds which open into shallow, upward facing cups with regularly arranged petals that turn a lovely soft pink against its matt, mid-green foliage. In addition to its obvious visual beauty, it has a lovely soft myrrh fragrance.

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

Bred by the famous David Austin nursery in 2004, the rose was named after the Queen of Sweden in honour of a treaty of friendship and commerce signed by Sweden and Britain. It is particularly useful in a cutting garden due to the regularity and straightness of the flower stems which create superb arrangements.
