'AUSoutcry'

The Ancient Mariner™ delights the senses with a captivating fragrance of myrrh, accented by subtle tea notes. This impressive Austin rose bears large, very double blooms in medium pink that mature to a glowing mid-pink center with soft pastel outer petals, gradually revealing golden stamens. Perfect for beds, hedges, cutting, and partial shade. It produces abundant, many-petalled flowers on a bushy, slightly arching shrub. Inspired by Coleridge’s epic poem, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, published in 1798, this rose combines literary charm with stunning garden presence.
