English Rose 'Scepter'd Isle'
FamilyRosaceae
Rosa ‘Scepter’d Isle’, commonly known as the ‘Scepter’d Isle’ English rose, is a refined David Austin variety cherished for its delicate elegance and strong fragrance. Its flexible, harmonious bushy habit produces large, double, cup-shaped flowers, a very pale, almost pearly pink, lightening to white at the edges while retaining a slightly deeper heart. Highly fragrant, they diffuse a rich and enchanting myrrh scent with sweet notes, perceptible from several feet away. Free-flowering from early summer until the first frosts, this rose brings softness and luminosity to borders, flowerbeds, or low hedges. Its medium-green glossy foliage highlights the delicate petals. Rosa ‘Scepter’d Isle’ attracts pollinating insects and lends romanticism and distinction to landscape designs.
