Rosa Charles de Mills AGM
A beautiful, opulent rose with large, deep crimson flowers composed of many flat petals, giving the tactile impression of magenta velvet. This is rather apt for an old rose from 1786 with unknown origins, which would seem completely at home amongst sumptuous rich fabrics and tapestries. 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.
