Jacqueline du Pre Rose Bushes

Rosa Jacqueline du Pre - Shrub Roses

Description of Jacqueline du Pre Roses:
Jacqueline du Pre is a leafy shrub rose that, after a first flush, flowers at intervals through the summer and into autumn. The white, strongly scented flowers have an open shape with beautiful saffron-pink anthers in the centre; perfect for cutting and admiring up close in a vase. This is a medium-sized, very healthy shrub rose which likes a little space as it is fairly spreading in habit being nearly as wide as it is tall. Jacqueline du Pre is pretty trouble-free and is a very good choice if you are looking for a rose to do well on poor soils. It can grow pretty well in a large container or pot.
