David Austin Roses The Lady's Blush Rose Bush

The Lady's Blush reaches a mature size of approximately 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide. Because of its rounded, bushy habit, it works best when given enough room to maintain airflow, so plan for a 3-foot diameter footprint in your garden bed.

This is a repeat-blooming variety. You can expect consistent flushes of flowers from late spring through the first frost, provided the plant receives adequate sunlight and regular deadheading.

To perform at its best, this rose needs full sun, which means at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. While it can tolerate partial shade, you will see fewer blooms and a less compact growth habit if it doesn't get enough light.

The Lady's Blush is hardy in USDA zones 5 through 10. If you live in a colder region (zone 5), you may want to provide some winter protection for the base of the plant during the coldest months.

Because it arrives as a mature, 3-4 year old specimen, it is already well-established. When planting, dig a hole twice as wide as the pot and just as deep, ensuring the graft union is level with or slightly below the soil surface to encourage strong root development.

The fragrance is classified as light to medium. It features a classic old-rose scent that is noticeable when you are near the plant, but it won't overpower a large garden space.
