Rosa 'Queen of Sweden'
Rosa 'Queen of Sweden' is a David Austin English shrub rose prized for its soft pink, elegantly cupped, fully double blooms and a light to medium myrrh fragrance. It is repeat-flowering through summer into early autumn, forming an upright, bushy plant that suits mixed borders and classic rose beds. Expect an eventual height of about 1.2m with a spread around 0.9m. Best grown in full sun in fertile, moist but well-drained soil; deciduous and hardy.
To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
