The Ancient Mariner

Rose The Ancient Mariner

(Ausoutcry) The Ancient Mariner is an impressive variety, bearing masses of large, many petalled blooms on a bushy, quite upright shrub. The blooms are a lovely glowing mid pink at the centre, paling towards the edges. Over time, they each reveal a cluster of golden stamens.

The name of this rose was inspired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge's epic poem, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Released by David Austin Roses in the UK in 2016.
