More information
A large, upright shrub with small, vivid apricot blooms borne in large clusters. The petals are arranged symmetrically around the center. The flowers are smaller than those of its progenitor, Charles Austin. The fragrance is strong and fruity. Leander forms an erect, narrow bush. Growth is vigorous; the foliage is glossy and is commonly reported as nearly disease-free. Although generally classified as a once-flowering rose, it can repeat, typically producing one to two clusters on long shoots in late summer.
Leander, an Austin rose, flowers heavily in early summer with dense apricot blooms. The blooms appear in clusters; they are small, carried on branched trusses, and have a fruity scent. Although regarded as a single bloomer, additional flowers may occur later. The foliage is shiny and medium-sized. The shrub is large, with width and height approximately equal. It is cited for strong disease resistance among English roses.
