'AUSowiish'

Named with the approval of Roald Dahl's wife to honour his love of gardening, this Austin rose evokes the peach from James and the Giant Peach. Roald Dahl™ unfurls long-lasting large blooms in soft apricot that shift through creamy and warm yellow tones, finishing in buttery petals edged with pink, releasing a moderate fragrance of spice and raspberry. Ideal for beds, hedges, and cutting gardens.

More About Roald Dahl™

Roald Dahl™ opens from bulbous, orange-yellow buds, revealing large, deeply cupped blooms in soft apricot. As the very double flowers mature, they transition through creamy and warm yellow tones, their colour finishing in buttery petals delicately edged with pink. Moderately fragrant with a perfume of spicy notes and fruity raspberry scent, these charming, long-lasting blooms bring both shifting colour and refined fragrance to the garden.

Growing Details

Roald Dahl™ forms a bushy shrub with gently arching stems reaching 4' × 4', thriving in CA Zones 6+ | USDA 5+ and beyond. Clad in medium green, leathery foliage with a semi-glossy finish, this continuous blooming rose features few thorns and adapts beautifully to both full sun and partial shade. Ideal for statement plantings, beds, hedges, cutting arrangements, and gardens with dappled light.
