Mary Rose * David Austin Rose * Introduced in 1983

Mary Rose is a strong growing shrub that gets 5 feet or more tall. The rich pink densely petaled flowers evoke the image that I have of the old damask roses. Mary Rose is very fragrant and a great cut flower. It has bloomed and repeated reliably though it takes a bit of a break with the heat of the summer. The parents include 'The Wife of Bath' and 'The Miller'. Mary Rose was released by David Austin in 1983.
