English Rose ‘Darcey Bussell’
FamilyRosaceae
Rosa 'Darcey Bussell', commonly known as the 'Darcey Bussell' English rose, is a David Austin-style variety prized for its intense color and abundant blooms. Its compact, well-branched bushy habit bears superb double rosette-shaped flowers, a deep crimson red with velvety reflections, darkening slightly to a rich purple at maturity. Moderately to strongly fragrant, they release a fruity fragrance with old rose notes, pleasant near patios and walkways. This rose, which blooms from early summer until the first frosts, offers an elegant presence in beds, borders, or low hedges. Its lustrous medium green foliage highlights the intensity of the petals. Rosa 'Darcey Bussell' attracts pollinating insects and brings depth and refinement to landscape designs.
