Bathsheba® Rose Bush By David Austin® 3 or 5 Gallon
Warm apricot-yellow buds gradually unfold into beautifully formed, shallowly cupped rosettes packed with delicate petals. Each bloom displays a soft harmony of apricot-pink and pale yellow tones, creating an overall warm apricot glow, while the outer petals fade to a gentle creamy shade. The flowers carry a rich floral myrrh fragrance layered with subtle notes of honey and classic Tea rose. This variety develops into a compact yet energetic climbing rose, producing abundant blooms throughout the season. Its name draws inspiration from the spirited heroine in Thomas Hardy’s novel Far from the Madding Crowd.
