Rosa David Austin® 'Roald Dahl' (Apricot)

This compact, bushy shrub has an upright habit and boasts a profusion of soft apricot blooms with a delightful tea fragrance, blooming repeatedly throughout the growing season. Hardy in USDA Zones 5-9, it thrives in temperatures between 50-80°F and performs best in full sun with well-draining, fertile soils. The deciduous foliage turns a soft golden hue in fall, adding seasonal interest. The plant reaches a mature height of about 4 feet and is attractive to pollinators, though minimally deer-resistant. With its rounded form, glossy green leaves, and no notable fruit, it is ideal for borders, containers, or as a stand-alone feature. Regular pruning encourages healthy growth and abundant flowering.
