Rosa David Austin® 'Crown Princess Margareta'® (apricot)

This deciduous, English shrub rose boasts a strong, arching habit with stunning apricot-orange blooms that form large, deeply cupped rosettes. Hardy in Zones 4-11, it thrives in moderate temperatures, tolerating cold winters and warmer summers. Highly fragrant, the blooms emit a robust tea scent, making it a favorite in gardens. The foliage is a lush green, without notable fall color, and the plant can produce small, decorative rose hips in the fall. It prefers well-drained, fertile soil enriched with organic matter, with consistent moisture being key to its best performance. Deer resistant to a degree, it benefits from protection in highly deer-populated areas. Standing between 4-6 feet tall with a spread of 3-5 feet, it makes an excellent choice for borders, hedges, or climbing low structures such as fences or trellises.
