Princess Alexandra of Kent (Ausmerchant)
David Austin Recommended Variety

We are very honoured to name this rose for Princess Alexandra, who is a cousin to Queen Elizabeth II. She is a keen gardener and great lover of roses.

The rose that bears her name has unusually large flowers of a warm, glowing pink. They are full-petalled and deeply cupped in shape, all enclosed in a ring of outer petals of a softer pink; creating a most pleasing effect.

In spite of their size, they are never clumsy; being held nicely poised on a well-rounded shrub of 3.5 ft. in height and 2.5 ft. across. Because of their size, there is a lot to be said for planting in groups of three, keeping both flowers and growth nicely balanced.

They have a delicious fresh Tea fragrance which, interestingly, changes completely to lemon as the flower ages – eventually taking on additional hints of blackcurrants. It is very healthy.

3.5 ft x 2.5 ft.
