This year English breeder David Austin is releasing 3 new varieties for the Australian market: they are all stunning and performing very well in our climate.

Dame Judy Dench (Ausquaker)

The blooms of this beautiful variety are a particularly rich shade of apricot-orange, paling prettily towards the edges. The striking, red-tipped buds gradually open to reveal large informal rosettes, each with ruffled petals and a button eye. They are very resistant to rain damage and the petals drop neatly. 

The shrub is very healthy and produces strong, arching stems which, over time, form an attractive mound of blooms. 

Named after one of Britain’s most beloved stars of stage and screen.

Fragrance: Light-medium, Tea
Height: up to 110cm x 125cm wide
