Pat Austin
Named after David Austin’s wife, this is an entirely new colour break in English Roses; a bright copper on the inside of the petals, with pale copper-yellow on the outer sides, a similar effect to ‘Austrian Copper’ (R. foetida bicolor).
The flowers are large and deeply cupped, so that we get contrasting colours between the two sides of the petals, giving a most attractive effect. The growth is strong and of a similar type to Golden Celebration and Abraham Darby.
Tea-scented with a warm, sensuous background.
May need summer pruning to maintain as a shrub.
