The Lark Ascending (Ausursula) at a glance
Rosa ‘The Lark Ascending’ is a true poetry in bloom. This David Austin rose enchants with its medium-sized, semi-double flowers that appear in generous clusters, sometimes up to fifteen per stem. The soft blend of apricot and golden yellow creates a warm, almost glowing radiance, as if the sun itself has descended into your garden bed. Its open flower shape provides a natural, informal elegance and also attracts busy bees and other pollinators, bringing life to your garden. The subtle, refined scent of fresh tea with a gentle hint of myrrh invites close enjoyment without ever overpowering.
With its strong and healthy growth, ‘The Lark Ascending’ blooms richly from bottom to top and continues tirelessly throughout the entire season, from June well into autumn. It is perfect for borders, mixed plantings, or as a graceful, loose shrub. Thanks to its airy form and elegant appearance, it is also excellent as a cut flower, bringing a touch of natural beauty indoors. Its name, inspired by the famous musical piece, reflects the lightness and free movement this rose brings to your garden.
