David Austin 'Claire Austin' English Climber 6L

A refined English climbing rose bred by David Austin and introduced in 2007, named in honour of his daughter. Pleasingly cupped, pale lemon buds open gradually into large, creamy-white flowers, their petals arranged in neat concentric circles with a few more loosely gathered at the centre — a look of typical English musk delicacy. Carries a strong, distinctive fragrance built on myrrh with touches of vanilla, meadowsweet, and heliotrope. Forms an elegant, vigorous, arching shrub with plentiful medium green foliage and excellent health. A reliable repeat bloomer, flowering in flushes from late spring through to autumn. Can handle some shade, making it more flexible in placement than many climbers. Reaches around 2.4–3.7m in height when trained as a climber, with a spread of 1.2–1.5m — ideal for arches, trellises, walls, or an obelisk.

Each rose is hand-selected to reach you in the best possible condition.
