🌹 Discover the Beauty of ‘Olivia Rose Austin’ – A Perfectly Poised English Rose for Toowoomba Gardens
True Blue Garden Centre is proud to offer Rose ‘Olivia Rose Austin’, one of the most exquisite and disease-resistant English Roses developed by the world-renowned David Austin. Named after his granddaughter, this romantic shrub rose is celebrated for its refined charm, repeat flowering, and outstanding health—making it a must-have for gardeners across Toowoomba and the Darling Downs.
‘Olivia Rose Austin’ produces perfectly formed, fully double, cupped blooms in a soft, warm pink that deepens toward the centre. Each flower is infused with a light to medium fruity fragrance, evoking hints of peach and raspberry - ideal for those who appreciate both beauty and scent in the garden. Blooming from early in the season through to late autumn, this rose will reward you with a near-constant display of floral abundance.
Whether you're planting a classic cottage garden in Mount Lofty, designing a formal rose border in Rangeville, or refreshing your backyard in Highfields, ‘Olivia Rose Austin’ thrives in the Toowoomba climate. It performs beautifully in full sun and well-drained soil, and thanks to its superior disease resistance, it's perfect for gardeners looking for a low-maintenance yet elegant rose.
