Penelope Lively (Aus18a15) at a glance
The ‘Penelope Lively’ rose (Aus18a15) from David Austin is a true poetry in bloom, a living artwork that transforms your garden. Its lush clusters of full, cup-shaped flowers unfold with an enchanting color transformation: from a warm, vibrant mid-pink evolving into a sublime, almost ethereal lavender shade. This graceful metamorphosis, combined with a medium to strong, refined fragrance of summer raspberries, fresh lemon, and a hint of myrrh, makes each flower an olfactory and visual sensation that delights the senses.
As a robust shrub rose with healthy growth and an impressive bloom period from July well into October, ‘Penelope Lively’ is the perfect choice for various garden styles. It excels as a radiant centerpiece in borders, creates a romantic atmosphere in cottage gardens, or adds a touch of English elegance to large pots and rose beds. Its natural charm and rich flowering guarantee a continuous display of color and scent, enriching your outdoor space season after season.
