Rosa 'Roald Dahl' is a remarkable shrub rose, prized for its generous, soft apricot blooms that evolve into delicate peach hues. From the renowned David Austin house, this rose combines romantic charm with excellent disease resistance. Its bushy and harmonious habit makes it an ideal choice for borders, low hedges, or as a stand-alone specimen. Its repeat flowering extends from early summer until the first frosts, offering a continuous and fragrant display. The glossy green foliage highlights its full, old-fashioned style blooms.
