Family Rosaceae

The Rosa 'The Lark Ascending', an English rose developed by David Austin, is distinguished by its soft, luminous apricot semi-double flowers, delicately nuanced with peach tones. Its bushy, supple, and slightly open habit gives it a natural look, ideal for cottage gardens, borders, or mixed plantings. Very floriferous, it offers repeat blooming from early summer until autumn, attracting bees and butterflies with its open, pollen-rich flowers. Its matte green foliage, healthy and disease-resistant, highlights the light and airy appearance of the plant. Undemanding, this rose is appreciated for its ease of cultivation and its natural effect, bringing softness and luminosity to the garden.
