- Description

Rosa 'AUSreef' is one of the most fragrant of the English Roses. The fragrance is a mix of old rose, myrrh along with a fruity scent. Its form is an upright, compact habit, making it a great choice for planting in beds, as a border, in containers, along walls and fences. The fully double cupped blooms are up to 4" wide and loaded with over 90 petals.
This disease resistant repeat bloomer will give you blooms from late spring to frost. Its delicate flowers are a shade of pink that transition to a creamy-white towards the outer petals.
