Pépinière.ca | English rose 'James Galway'

Rosa ‘James Galway’, commonly known as the ‘James Galway’ English rose, is a David Austin style variety prized for its vigor and classic elegance. Its flexible and vigorous habit, bushy to climbing, allows it to be grown as a large structural shrub or trained against a wall, arch, or trellis. It produces large, double, perfectly rosetted flowers, a luminous medium pink with paler outer petals, creating a refined and harmonious effect. Moderately fragrant, they release a fresh old rose scent. Free-flowering from early summer until the first frosts, this rose offers a majestic presence in beds or on vertical structures. Its glossy medium green foliage highlights the delicacy of the petals. Rosa ‘James Galway’ attracts pollinating insects and brings romance and distinction to landscape designs.
