A cheerful and wonderfully fragrant English rose from David Austin, AUSjo is a garden classic celebrated for its beautiful blooms and prolific nature. Introduced in 1995, it produces large, chalice-shaped flowers in a lovely soft yellow, often touched with hints of pink and apricot. The blooms are prized for their strong and complex fruity fragrance, which carries delightful notes of guava and sweet white wine.
