English Shrub Rose
Both the soft pink, very double roses and the light myrrh fragrance are a delight for any rose lover. But QUEEN OF SWEDEN has two additional characteristics to endear it to gardeners. The flowers are carried upright and the stems have few thorns, making it particularly well-suited for cutting, And its excellent disease resistance makes it a good choice for hedges and larger landscaping groups.
Rose breeder David Austin is famous for 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.
