Rose of the Month
July 2005
Mary Rose
David Austin “English’ Rose
Mary Rose is a wonderful name for a successful
platform for its owner. And what a delight it is, despite having been on the
rose scene since 1983. While most all David Austin hybridized rose do well in
Connecticut’s climate, Mary Rose is near the top of that list. Despite the
challenges of the past three winters, she has not only survived, but
flourished. And adding to the delight in my garden, she is one of the very
first, and one of the most generous bloomers. She started in early June, and by
the 10th of June had more than 80 blooms- most over three inches in
diameter. And due to its remontant bloom we can expect to enjoy blossoms for
most of the summer.
Mary Rose is a very double, medium pink rose,
deep pink when the bloom I is new, fading somewhat to soft pink with time. But
it stays well on the bush, is a clean bloom and very tidy. The plant lost very
little of its stems in the past winter, and started the spring at nearly four
feet. There is a light scent.
