Family Rosaceae

Rosa 'Susan Williams-Ellis', an iconic English rose by David Austin, stands out with its dazzling pure white flowers, reminiscent of old roses with timeless elegance. This compact shrub rose develops a dense, bushy habit, ideal for borders, small beds, or classic and romantic gardens. Its repeat flowering, abundant from June until the frosts, is accompanied by a powerful and enchanting fragrance with old rose notes. Its matte green foliage offers a refined contrast with the purity of the flowers, while showing good disease resistance. Highly appreciated for its luminosity in the garden, it attracts pollinating insects and integrates easily into various landscape designs, bringing freshness and sophistication.
