Lady Judi Dench (Ausquaker) at a glance
The 'Dame Judi Dench' rose (Ausquaker), named after the iconic British actress, is a true star in any garden. This David Austin creation, introduced in 2017, enchants with its warm apricot color that subtly fades to softer shades at the edges. Its lush, deeply filled rosettes with ruffled petals and a charming button eye are a feast for the eyes. But it is the unique fragrance that truly makes it special: a refined tea aroma with surprisingly fresh top notes of kiwi and cucumber, a modern twist on a classic rose scent.
This versatile English rose combines healthy growth with an unprecedented abundance of blooms, from early summer well into autumn. With its elegant, slightly curved stems and glossy green, disease-resistant foliage, the 'Dame Judi Dench' is an ideal choice for various garden uses. It thrives beautifully as a large, richly flowering shrub rose of 150 cm, but can also grow into a charming small climbing rose up to 300 cm against a pergola, wall, or fence. Even on a north-facing wall or in partial shade, it will surprise you with its beauty, and as a cut rose, it brings its charm indoors.

With over 40 years of family experience, we guarantee you a strong, healthy plant, grown with passion and sustainable methods.
