More information
One of David Austin’s earliest roses, Shropshire Lass is now rarely listed as a cultivar, but it continues to be grown. It blooms once, yet very freely, and mature shrubs carry many pearl-pink flowers. Each flower has a prominent central cluster of stamens and gradually fades to white. As a single-flowering variety, deadheading is unnecessary; large orange hips ripen in autumn. The foliage is thin, like that of rose-hip plants, and the shoots bear many small thorns. In hot climates, the bush reaches 4 metres. Very winter-hardy.
