While many David Austen roses are soft pinks or yellows or pristine whites, BENJAMIN BRITTEN® is a show-stopping bright pinkish red with touches of salmon. But it still has the classic English cupped form with the quartered rosette center.This rose comes from David Austin, the breeder dedicated to
combining the shapes and scents of old-fashioned English roses with the
repeat bloom, disease resistance, and hardiness of modern roses. Like
all roses, the more sun you give it, the more flowers you'll get in
return. Foliage is disease resistant, but no rose is
disease-proof. Spraying against fungal problems may be a good idea if you
can't give it full sun or it's too crowded for
good air circulation. Remember that roses, particularly repeat bloomers,
are heavy feeders so fertilize in spring and again mid-summer.
Come winter, mulch and protect against rabbits and deer.
