Welcome to my personal growing review of “The crocus rose” -(Ausquest) from david Austin roses now sadly retired in the UK
Bred and introduced in 2000 now widely available being grown under its Latin name and still available for sale directly from david Austin in many many other locations
An utterly enchanting shrub rose that may appeal to those of you that don’t have the space to grow Claire Austin
A free flowering variety coming into bloom in mid June and still working hard through to the back end of September and even into October
It has incredibly dark emerald green foliage which is deeply serrated on the outer edges.which compliments the flowers beautifully which are produced on a really attractive round shaped shrub 4’ x 4’
In every stage the flower is stunning cone shaped buds open very similar to a hybrid tea rose in shape. They are a heavy ivory cream with notes of yellow and lime in the very centre. Once open. The flower is deeply rosetted in the centre and heavily cupped by the time the flower is fully open the outer petals open right back to the flower stem revealing a deeply ruffled centre and a very attractive lime green button eye
It’s fairly thorny and will need to be de-barbed if you’re planning on cutting it and bringing it into the house where it should last in a vase for around four to five days
This rose is best planted in partial shade preferably receiving early morning sun planting it in Full sun could cause it to go into stress so I suggest deep mulching and focused watering however planting it in shade will avoid this and also maintain it very delicate coloration
As you would expect, the fragrance is light hybrid tea with fruit of a light citrus
Fragrance rating 4⭐️s
