The Prince (Ausvelvet)
('Lilian Austin' x 'The Squire') Austin, 1990ARS Rating: 7.8 - My Rating: 8.0 Date Planted: April 7, 1997 Source: Jackson & Perkins, local nursery Exposure: Full sun all day
This is a beautiful rose, and considered by many to be the best of the red English Roses. The fragrance is out of this world, a true 'Old Rose' aroma, and the color calls to mind a glass of good
Merlot (rich crimson) aging to the color of royal robes (rich royal purple) . This is a regal little flower, about 3", on an elegantly
spreading little shrub... when it's not defoliated by blackspot, that is. To see more photos, visit the Photo Gallery! Return to English Roses
