Named for David Austin's wife, 'Pat Austin' (1995) is a magnificent English rose with large, deeply cupped, fully double flowers of a brilliant, glowing copper-orange, paling to gold at the edges. The fragrance is strong and wonderful—a blend of tea, fruit, and spice. This vigorous, arching shrub reaches 4–5 feet (can be pegged down as a climber) with healthy, glossy foliage. It repeats reliably and makes a spectacular specimen, its warm, vibrant color glowing in the garden like a sunset.
