More information
A red rose with vibrant, velvet-red blooms that later shift to an equally rich purple. The flowers begin deeply cupped, then open and become progressively flatter. The shrub is upright, carrying many blooms on each shoot. Strong rose fragrance. Shows strong disease resistance.
Silhouetted variety that quickly develops into a dense bush; highly disease-resistant. It flowers in large clusters, and each cluster persists for more than a fortnight. New shoots come into bloom quickly, unlike older red Austin varieties that produce long, non-flowering shoots. The flowers are large—over 10 cm in diameter—densely-margined, with a rich fragrance featuring violet notes.
In 1987, David Austin Senior introduced the William Shakespeare rose, and 13 years later replaced it with William Shakespeare 2000. The 1987 rose proved very susceptible to rust and powdery mildew, whereas the newer variety appears quite resistant to various rose diseases. It bears velvety, carmine-red flowers that age to purple and carry an Old Rose scent. The shrub is fast-growing, upright, freely branching, and clad in large, matte, pure green foliage.
