🌹 Rose ‘Wollerton Old Hall’ – David Austin Rose | Available Now at True Blue Garden Centre, Toowoomba QLD
One of the most exquisitely fragrant English roses ever bred, Rose ‘Wollerton Old Hall’ is a romantic beauty with captivating charm. Bred by David Austin, this highly sought-after rose is named after the iconic Shropshire garden and is renowned for its exceptionally strong myrrh scent, graceful cupped blooms, and remarkable repeat flowering.
The creamy apricot buds unfurl into plump, chalice-shaped blooms of soft butter cream to ivory, with a mesmerising blend of warmth and elegance. As the blooms mature, the flowers soften to a pale cream, creating an ethereal effect in the garden.
