Rosa 'Eustacia Vye' 6L David Austin

David Austin Rose ‘Eustacia Vye’ – English Shrub Rose (6L Pot)

Rosa ‘Eustacia Vye’ is a beautifully romantic David Austin English shrub rose with soft, glowing apricot-pink blooms packed with layers of delicately ruffled petals. The flowers begin as shallow cups before opening into full, elegant rosettes, revealing richer tones at the centre that gradually soften as the bloom matures.

The blooms are carried on attractive red-tinged stems and release a deliciously strong fruity fragrance, making this rose perfect for planting near paths, patios, or seating areas where its scent can be enjoyed.

This variety is known for its excellent health and vigorous growth, forming a bushy, upright shrub that produces repeat blooms throughout the season. Its warm colouring blends beautifully with other roses and flowering perennials in borders or containers.
