Reliable, disease-resistant, and delightfully fragrant, English Rose Sweet Juliet (Ausleap) is a beautiful shrub rose from David Austin, one of the most popular English roses in the UK. Extremely vigorous, this rose shrub sends up bountiful upright branches from the base, bearing lush green foliage and abundant medium-sized, double, shallow-cupped flowers in heavenly shades of glowing apricot.

A sizeable and growing gallery of David Austin roses, aka 'English' Roses. David Austin crosses old roses with repeat flowering modern roses with often stunning results. Like many before me I was transfixed at the first English rose I saw, Abraham Darby. How was such beauty possible? - cupped pastel blooms, stuffed with impossibly fine crumpled silk..

A delightfully different English Rose, The Lark Ascending (Ausursula) features gently cupped, medium-sized, semi-double flowers of just 22 petals in a heavenly warm apricot shade, splashed with gold at the centers. On the bush, the roses are produced from the ground upwards in flower heads of up to 15 nicely spaced blooms, creating an impressive effect.
