Cultivar Notes -
David Austin® William Shakespeare 2000
This richly colored bloom is held on a very disease resistant, rounded shrub with excellent repeat flowering power. The blooms are rich velvety crimson that change gradually to a wonderful deep purple.
Species Notes -
Rosa rubiginosa
English Roses have natural, shrubby growth which makes them ideal for both rose borders and combining with other plants in mixed borders. The more compact English Roses work well in rose beds, while taller varieties can be trained against a post and rail fence. Most varieties will perform surprisingly well in partial shade with at least four or five hours of good sun a day. English Roses as shrubs look best when planted in groups of three or more of the same variety. They will then grow together to form one dense shrub, which will provide a more continuous display and make a more definite statement in the border.
Genus Notes -
Rosa
The signature genus Rosa of the Rosaceae family was classified by Linnaeus in the 18th century and today contains over one hundred species, all originating in the Northern Hemisphere. From the wild species there have evolved thousands of hybrids and forms with many branches in the ancestral tree. Roses are among the most ancient ornamentals in cultivation. Today’s repeat blooming roses derive their remontant characteristics from the China tea roses and hybrid perpetuals.
