The James L. Austin English Shrub Rose from David Austin Roses is vibrant and thriving. It bears large, many petalled, deep pink rosettes, each with a button eye. There is a light-medium strength fruity fragrance. It forms a neat and tidy shrub with a bushy, upright habit. Introduced in 2017, the shrub is named for the son of David Austin Senior and brother of David Austin Junior.

This rose is suitable for all soil types and prefers full sunlight and to be easterly, southerly, or westerly facing. It is ideal for brightening up mixed borders or celebrating in rose hedges and borders. The shrub also does well in pots and containers for a more mobile splash of colour and scent.

After approximately three years of annual pruning, the James L. Austin will be about 125cm tall and 110cm wide, with a delicious light fruity scent and medium blooms. As a repeat flowerer, this bush will give you fragrant flushes of flowers from late spring to early winter.
