Bring warm, sunset color to your garden with Rosa 'Lady of Shalott', a David Austin English shrub rose prized for richly scented, repeat-blooming flowers. You will enjoy orange-red buds that open to chalice-shaped blooms in apricot to orange tones, often showing salmon-pink outer petals and golden-yellow highlights as the flowers mature.
In the landscape, this rose forms a bushy, slightly arching shrub that typically reaches about 36-48 inches tall with a similar spread (about 36-48 inches wide). It fits easily into mixed borders, cottage-style plantings, or a small hedge, and it is an excellent choice for cutting because the blooms are showy and fragrant.
For best performance, plant it where it will receive full sun to partial shade and where air can move freely through the foliage. Give your rose fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture, and apply a layer of mulch to help even out soil temperature and reduce drying between waterings.
To encourage continuous flowering, deadhead spent blooms during the main season by removing faded flowers to a strong leaf. As the season winds down, allow the plant to slow naturally so it can harden off before winter. Prune in late winter or very early spring to shape the shrub and stimulate vigorous new canes, removing weak, dead, or crossing stems.
Use Rosa 'Lady of Shalott' near a patio, walkway, or entry where the warm Tea fragrance can be appreciated up close. With regular watering, feeding, and routine pruning, you can expect an extended season of color from spring through frost.
