Rosa David Austin® 'Tess of The d'Urbervilles' (red)

This stunning deciduous shrub rose features a vigorous, bushy habit with an arching growth form, reaching a height of up to 4-5 feet and a similar spread. It thrives in USDA hardiness zones 5-10, requiring full sun exposure and well-draining, fertile soil enriched with organic matter for optimal growth. Its deep crimson, cup-shaped flowers bloom repeatedly from late spring into fall, exuding a strong, classic old-rose fragrance that is highly sought after. Though it does not provide significant fall color, its glossy, mid-green foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season. This variety is moderately deer-resistant and is an excellent choice for borders, mixed gardens, or training on low supports. Ideal for temperate climates, this sturdy rose is a testament to beauty and resilience, adding a touch of romance to any garden.
