Type

Family
Rosaceae

The English rose 'Princess Anne', a creation by David Austin, is a modern shrub rose remarkable for its deep, almost magenta-pink flowers that retain their intensity throughout the blooming period. Its semi-double to double flowers, elegantly arranged, appear in abundance from early summer until the first frosts. They release a light, discreet yet pleasant tea-like fragrance. Its bushy, compact, and very structured habit makes it an excellent choice for beds, borders, or low hedges. Its dark green, glossy foliage, particularly disease-resistant, enhances its reliability and ornamental appeal. This rose combines intense color, continuous flowering, and hardiness, making it ideal for contemporary and sustainable landscaping.
