One of David Austin's foundational English roses (1983), 'Mary Rose' is a model of reliability and beauty. It bears medium-sized, fully double, rosette-shaped flowers of a clear, mid-pink. The fragrance is a lovely, well-balanced old rose scent with hints of honey and almond. This neat, bushy shrub grows to about 4 feet tall and wide, with healthy, matt green foliage. It is exceptionally free-flowering, repeating in large flushes from early summer to frost. Its compact habit, disease resistance, and classic charm make it a perfect choice for the mixed border or a low hedge.
