The Rosa The Ancient Mariner is a magnificent English rose bred by David Austin, notable for its large, many-petalled blooms in a rich shade of mid pink with paler outer petals. It emits a strong myrrh fragrance that adds a classic and uplifting presence to the garden. This rose flowers freely and continuously, forming a vigorous, bushy shrub with excellent disease resistance. Ideal for borders or as a focal point, The Ancient Mariner combines classic English rose charm with modern garden performance.
