Roald Dahl® Rose Bush By David Austin® 3 or 5 Gallon
Warm orange-red buds gradually open into medium-sized, neatly cupped rosette blooms in a rich apricot tone. The flowers are exceptionally sturdy and release a delightful fruity Tea fragrance. This variety is known for its strong health and reliable growth, developing into a well-shaped, rounded shrub with a naturally bushy habit and relatively few thorns. The rose was introduced to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Roald Dahl, with the blessing of his wife, Liccy Dahl. Its warm apricot coloring was inspired by the famous peach from the beloved book James and the Giant Peach. Proceeds from the rose helped raise £100,000 for Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity.
