Compact and shapely growth creates an upright and bushy shrub that flowers with great verve. This rose is full of character, who is happy to thrive in containers, against walls or fences and in shadier areas making it the perfect rose for city dwellers and modern living. The medium luscious scent is zesty with notes of lemon, lychees and fresh apricots. In 2022, David Austin was hugely impressed with an RHS Chelsea Flower Show garden called ‘Hands off Mangrove’ by not-for-profit Grow2Know. The garden was designed by Danny Clarke along with Grow2Know founder, Tayshan Hayden-Smith, and powerfully united the two prominent issues of social injustice and global deforestation. Intrigued by Danny's drive to make gardening more accessible and inclusive this city dwelling rose was the perfect pairing to share our passion for the power of gardening and enabling roses to bloom in any landscape.
