Shrub Rose
The soft pink, semi-double flowers of this alba hybrid have a bit of a wild rose look to them. And THE LADY'S BLUSH® does display the hardy vigorous nature of her ancestry. But with some refinements. The pale golden stamens at the center are unusually slender, and surrounded with a ring of red at the base...perhaps to help guide pollinators.
THE LADY'S BLUSH® is from David Austin, the
breeder dedicated to bringing together the shapes and scents of
old-fashioned roses with the repeat bloom, hardiness, and disease
resistance of modern roses. Like all roses, the more sun you give it,
the more flowers you'll get in return. Remember that even the most
disease resistant roses need help fighting fungal diseases if you can't
give them full sun and good air circulation. Also, all roses, particularly
repeat bloomers, are heavy feeders, so for best performance fertilize in
spring and again in mid-summer.
