Crown Princess Margareta is for gardeners planning height, structure, and a strong vertical rose moment. Its apricot-orange flowers, strong, fruity fragrance, and mature spread matter as much as the support you choose for it.
Cultivar overview
Crown Princess Margareta is a en glish climbing rose from David Austin. Introduced in 1990, it is best understood through its apricot-orange colour, strong, fruity scent profile, and repeat bloom habit. Its strong, fruity fragrance is one of the main reasons to consider it for a spot close to people. Repeat flowering makes it easier to plan for more than one moment of interest during the season.
Garden character and use
Use it where a vertical rose can earn its space: along a fence, over an arch, against a pillar, or on a sturdy trellis with room for training. At about 12 feet by 4 feet, it needs a position where mature growth will not feel crowded. Its apricot-orange colour gives it a warm colour family that can shift beautifully with light and bloom age.
Bloom, fragrance, and care notes
Crown Princess Margareta is strongest for gardeners who care about both scent and repeat bloom. With petal count noted as 120, the bloom has a useful clue to fullness and shape. Give it good airflow, steady watering, and a sunny position so the fragrance and flower form have the best chance to show well.
