Shepherdess (Austwist) at a glance
The 'Shepherdess' (Austwist), a beautiful creation by David Austin, enchants with its medium-sized, richly filled flowers. The soft apricot color, often enhanced with a subtle pink glow, combined with deeply cupped petals, gives each flower a classic and refined appearance. Its fresh, fruity fragrance with delicate citrus notes fills the garden with a refreshing scent, inviting you time and again to admire its beauty.
This charming shrub rose grows upright and bushy, making it ideal for borders, beds, and mixed gardens. It stands out beautifully as a solitary eye-catcher in a cottage garden or as part of a romantic planting. Thanks to its excellent repeat flowering, you can enjoy the graceful charm of the 'Shepherdess' throughout the summer and autumn.
