Overview

David Austin English Rose. It is true that pink roses seem to carry that fragrance gene. Gertrude is one of the most popular David Austin roses and considered to be one of the most fragrant roses ever created! Everyone loves this rich double pink rose and I know you will too. She can be pruned to a modest shrub or trained as a small climber. If you collect fragrant roses, this beauty is a must have. A person fav of mine for her exquisite fragrance! Pre order 2026 rose - 3 gallon pot size.
