Rosaceae
Rosa 'The Ancient Mariner', David Austin's iconic English rose, captivates with its large, bright, deep pink flowers, delicately nuanced and with classic charm. This vigorous shrub rose has a slightly open, bushy habit, ideal for beds, borders, or mixed plantings. Its repeat flowering, abundant from early summer until the first frosts, is accompanied by a rich fragrance with notes of myrrh. The well-formed, deeply cupped flowers are set off by healthy, dense green foliage. Very floriferous and robust, it attracts pollinators and fits equally well into contemporary and traditional gardens. Easy to maintain, it is an excellent choice for bringing lasting colour, structure, and elegance to the garden.
