Lady of Shalott is for gardeners planning height, structure, and a strong vertical rose moment. Its orange flowers, medium, tea fragrance, and mature spread matter as much as the support you choose for it.
Cultivar overview
Lady of Shalott is a english climbing+ shrub rose from David Austin. Introduced in 2009, it is best understood through its orange colour, medium, tea scent profile, and repeat bloom habit. Its medium, tea fragrance keeps the focus on bloom colour, form, and garden placement. 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 125 CM by 125 CM, it needs a position where mature growth will not feel crowded. Its orange colour gives it a warm colour family that can shift beautifully with light and bloom age.
Bloom, fragrance, and care notes
Lady of Shalott is useful when repeat bloom matters more than one dramatic flush. With petal count noted as 60, the bloom has a useful clue to fullness and shape. Consistent watering, sun, and room for airflow will help keep the plant easier to enjoy through the season.
