Product Description

David Austin Rose ‘Roald Dahl’ – English Shrub Rose (6L Pot)

Rosa ‘Roald Dahl’ is a charming David Austin English shrub rose known for its beautifully soft apricot-coloured blooms and healthy, compact growth. Soft orange-red buds gradually open into perfectly shaped cupped rosettes, displaying warm apricot tones that brighten borders and containers throughout the flowering season.

The flowers release a pleasant fruity Tea fragrance, adding gentle scent to the garden while the plant’s naturally robust and healthy habit makes it an easy and reliable choice for many planting styles. With relatively few thorns and a neat rounded shape, it forms an attractive shrub that fits perfectly into mixed borders, rose beds, or patio containers.

Where to Grow

‘Roald Dahl’ performs well in full sun or partial shade and grows in most soil types provided they are fertile and well-drained. It works beautifully in mixed borders, rose beds, patio containers, or informal hedging, and the blooms are also lovely for cut flower arrangements.

Behind the Name

This rose was named with the approval of Felicity Dahl, wife of the famous author Roald Dahl, to celebrate his love of gardening. Its warm apricot colour was inspired by the giant peach from the classic novel James and the Giant Peach. The rose was introduced during the Roald Dahl 100 celebrations in 2016, marking the centenary of the author’s birth.

With its warm apricot colouring, healthy growth, and gentle fragrance, ‘Roald Dahl’ is a delightful rose that brings charm and storybook character to the garden.
