Desdemona

We feature a recently released David Austin rose that month which will be available in great numbers this winter. But get your order in quick as there is strong demand for roses

‘Desdemona’ has beautiful pure white buds which open from soft peachy pink buds.  There is a strong fruity old rose scent to enjoy from the flowers so one that will defiantly appeal to those who love fragrant roses.  It is a free flowering variety and one that stands up well to the weather.  In the garden, it forms a rounded shrub which will blend in well with other roses and garden plants.

Bred by David Austin of England and available from resellers of Austin roses around New Zealand.   Photo credit: David Austin Roses
