Rosa 'AUSreef' stands out as one of the most aromatic varieties among English Roses. Its delightful fragrance combines notes of classic rose, myrrh, and a hint of fruitiness. With its upright and compact growth habit, this rose is an excellent option for various planting scenarios, including flower beds, borders, containers, and along walls or fences. The blooms are fully double and can reach up to 4 inches in diameter, boasting more than 90 petals each.

This resilient, disease-resistant variety produces flowers repeatedly from late spring until the first frost. The blossoms exhibit a lovely pink hue that gradually fades to a creamy white at the edges.

However, it's worth noting that these plants are often susceptible to damage from deer.
