Rosa David Austin® 'Darcey Bussell' (red)

This compact shrub exhibits a neatly rounded habit, growing to a mature height of 3 feet and width of 2 feet, making it ideal for smaller gardens or borders. Suitable for planting in USDA Zones 5–9, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soils. Known for its deer resistance, this rose features exceptionally fragrant, deep crimson-red blooms that open fully and retain their rich coloring throughout summer until early autumn, complemented by a light green foliage that remains lush. While it does not produce noticeable fall color or fruit, its elegant shape and form add structure and vibrancy to landscapes. Recommended hardiness and temperatures range from cold winters to warm summers, typical of its growing zone range.
