A study in poise and elegance, AUStiger is a remarkable English shrub rose from David Austin, celebrated for its perfectly formed, upright blooms. Unlike many English roses, its flowers do not droop or nod, instead facing outward with confidence. Each medium-sized, cupped rosette is a soft, delicate blush pink that fades gracefully toward the edges. The blooms release a wonderful medium-strong fragrance, a complex and delicious blend of honey, almond, and vanilla notes. With its strong, upright, and bushy habit, AUStiger is an excellent choice for creating structure in borders and cottage gardens. Its superb resistance to black spot and mildew makes it a healthy and reliable repeat bloomer, providing its exquisite flowers for beautiful floral arrangements all season long.
