About David Austin® Desdemona® Potted Rose Bush
Rosa x 'Auskindling' Desdemona PP 30,054. Desdemona®
David Austin®'s Desdemona® is a recent introduction and a Grace Rose Farm® favorite. Named for Shakespeare's tragic heroine, this rose features peachy pink buds that unfurl into exquisite, white, chalice-shaped blooms with a delicate pink undertone. The incurved petals create a captivating display of light and shadow. Its strong Old Rose fragrance is enhanced by notes of almond blossom, cucumber, and lemon zest. Its compact shrub size makes it ideal for borders, hedges, and container gardening. Highly recommended for its beauty and versatility.
