David Austin Rose William Shakespeare 2000 - One Bareroot Plant

William Shakespeare 2000 is striking and one of the best crimson English Roses to date. It is a superb variety with exquisite blooms that are a rich velvety crimson gradually changing to an equally rich purple. The flowers are deeply cupped at first opening out to a shallow quartered cup. This rose has growth which is neat and upright with each stem bearing a number of flowers. The fragrance is strong and that of Old rose which is not always found in deep red roses such as this.
David Austin started David Austin Roses in 1969 with the aim to combine beautiful flower forms and fragrances of old roses with the wider colour range and repeat flowering of modern roses. They are specialists of old shrub species climbing and modern roses and are an internationally recognised and award-winning company.
