About David Austin® Crocus Rose Potted Rose Bush
Rosa ‘AUSquest’ Crocus Rose
Crocus Rose is a graceful apricot‑blend shrub rose bred by David C. H. Austin in Great Britain and introduced into the USA by David Austin Roses® (USA) in 2000. Named in honor of the Crocus Trust, it produces generous clusters of pale apricot rosettes that fade to cream, blooming in repeat flushes from late spring through fall. A mild tea‑rose fragrance and glossy green foliage complement its abundant flowering and reliable health—making it a timeless garden favorite.
