English Rose ‘Bathsheba’

English Rose 'Bathsheba' (Rosa 'Bathsheba'). The Rosa 'Bathsheba', a climbing English rose by David Austin, captivates with its large, rosette-shaped flowers of a warm apricot subtly nuanced with soft yellow, offering a bright and refined spectacle in the garden. Very vigorous, it develops a flexible habit ideal for adorning pergolas, arches, or sunny walls, creating a romantic and structured ambiance. Its repeat flowering, abundant from early summer until the first frosts, is accompanied by an intense myrrh-scented fragrance. Its healthy green foliage highlights its opulent flowers while ensuring good disease resistance.

To plant the English rose 'Bathsheba', choose a suitable exposure: sun. The recommended soil is: rich, well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then prune according to the rose's group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the possible presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the soil moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 2.5 to 3 m (8 to 10 ft) to arrange this plant in the garden. The indicated height of 3 to 3.5 m (10 to 12 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Combine this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development.
