Rosa Wildeve (English Rose)

Repeat-flowering and healthy, English Rose Wildeve is a fantastic rose which produces perfectly rosette-shaped, distinctly quartered, medium-sized, fully double flowers (70 petals), about 4-6 in. wide (10-15 cm). The abundant blooms are an extraordinary blush pink delicately touched with apricot. Very rain-resistant, they emit a fresh and pleasing medium strong fragrance. They are borne on long, gracefully arching branches, which eventually form a bushy, rounded shrub. Free-flowering, vigorous, robust and hardy, you may want to train this beauty against a short fence, where its blooms will no doubt be admired by onlookers!

• Blooming in flushes from late spring until frost, this Rose is an excellent repeat bloomer.
• Its noteworthy qualities have earned it the Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society
• Grows up to 3-4 ft. tall (90-120 cm) and spreads 2-3 ft. wide (60-90 cm). An excellent choice for beds and borders or as a flowering hedge. Spectacular when combined with the cool blue colors of salvia, nepeta or lavender. Great in pots and containers too!
• Plant it where you will be able to enjoy its perfume daily: near a doorway, along a path, near your patio or deck. Excellent cut flowers.
• Best grown in full sun or part shade, in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils.
• David Austin’s English Roses combine the flower forms and perfume of Old Roses with the color range and repeat-flowering habits of modern roses. As Rose breeder, David Austin’s achievement is in marrying the romantic “English Rose” look with reliable garden performance, vigorous growth, full bushes, disease-resistance and prolific season-long bloom. Over 200 English Roses have been released since 1961, many of them receiving the highest rewards.
