About Shepherdess (Austwist)

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.

At Belle Époque Rose Nursery in Aalsmeer, you buy the 'Shepherdess' directly from the grower. With over 40 years of experience, we cultivate our roses with unmatched passion and craftsmanship. Quality, expertise, and sustainable cultivation are central to us, ensuring you a healthy and floriferous addition to your garden. Choose the expertise of Belle Époque and let your garden shine.

Care & Plants
Plant bare-root roses between October and April, and potted roses throughout the year, as long as the ground is not frozen. Dig a spacious planting hole, enrich the soil with compost, and ensure the graft union is just below ground level. Maintain a planting distance of about 60-80 cm for optimal growth.
Prune the 'Shepherdess' in early spring, around March, when the worst frost has passed. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches and shorten the remaining branches by about one-third to encourage bushy growth and abundant flowering. Regularly cut away spent flowers to promote the formation of new buds and extend the blooming period.
Ensure a nutritious and well-draining soil. Water regularly during dry periods, especially for young plants. Fertilize in spring and after the first bloom with special rose fertilizer or organic fertilizers, and mulch the base of the plant to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

"The rose is well packaged and looks beautiful. Fast delivery, and the personal advice via email was very valuable — I wasn’t sure where to plant it."
