Fisherman's Friend Rose * David Austin Rose * Introduced 1987

The Fisherman's Friend Rose is a small rose with dark red densely petaled flowers. The flowers are very fragrant. The Fisherman's Friend Rose will get to about 4 feet. The Fisherman's Friend Rose is susceptible to blackspot and a little susceptible to rust and mildew as well, so they will be difficult if in a foggy area or near the coast.

The Fisherman's Friend Rose is the result of a cross between Lilian Austin and The Squire.
