Gentle Hermione® Rose Bush By David Austin® 3 or 5 Gallon
Gracefully shaped blooms open into shallow, perfectly formed cups of delicate light pink, with the outer petals softening to a gentle blush tone. The flowers release a rich, warm fragrance dominated by classic myrrh notes. This variety develops into an attractive, wide-growing shrub with slightly arching branches that give the plant a relaxed, elegant form. New foliage emerges with a reddish tint before maturing into fresh green leaves. The rose is named for Hermione, the devoted queen in Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale.
