English rose ‘Gentle Hermione’
FamilyRosaceae
Rosa 'Gentle Hermione', commonly known as the 'Gentle Hermione' English rose, is a David Austin style variety cherished for its romantic grace and enchanting fragrance. Its rounded and harmonious bushy habit bears large, perfectly formed rosette double flowers, a pure pink delicately deeper in the center and softening to a pale pink at the periphery. Highly fragrant, they diffuse a rich and classic old rose scent, deep and enveloping. Profuse from early summer until the first frosts, this rose offers an elegant presence in beds, borders, or low hedges. Its medium green glossy foliage highlights the delicacy of the petals and ensures a beautiful overall appearance. Rosa 'Gentle Hermione' attracts pollinating insects and brings softness, refinement, and romance to landscape designs.
