'AUSdecorum'

Named for the acclaimed ballerina who became Royal Ballet principal at age 20, this Austin rose delivers dramatic crimson pink blooms that develop a rich purple hue as they mature. Darcey Bussell™ unfurls medium to large, deeply cupped flowers in large clusters with a moderately fragrant scent of sweet fruit and tea. Exceptionally versatile, this compact, bushy hybrid thrives, being both very winter hardy and heat tolerant, making it ideal for beds and containers.
