More information

Tall arching shrub with glossy foliage. Rosette-shaped flowers in apricot-pink. Winter-hardy variety, used for the back of the border, as it withstands competition better than many other roses. Flowers are strongly fragrant. Repeat flowering, particularly for a shrub of this size. Disease resistant.

A relatively recent English variety within this group of roses. Features improved flower form, more consistent repeat flowering, and foliage with increased disease resistance. William Morris bears densely petalled, cup-shaped blooms in a watercolor-like blend of apricot and pale pink tones. Fragrant. The shrub is fast-growing, upright, and branching, with branches arching to the sides. Leaves are matte, grey-green, and disease resistant. Can be grown on a support (requires tying). In this case, it is sold as William Morris Climbing.
