IF YOU ARE A ROSE GARDENER AND A WEDGWOOD FAN, START PLANNING YOUR SPRING GARDEN NOW WITH THIS LOVELY NEW ROSE. CLICK THE POST TITLE TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE ORIGINS OF THIS NEW DAVID AUSTIN ROSE AND HOW TO BUY IT. WEDGWOOD & SONS DIDN'T INTRODUCE PINK JASPER UNTIL THE EARLY 1980'S BUT OF COURSE PINK HAS BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE COLORWAYS OF MANY DINNERWARE PATTERNS OVER MANY YEARS. EVEN THOUGH WE USUALLY THINK OF WEDGWOOD BLUE, THERE IS WEDGWOOD PINK - THESE ROSES IN A PINK JASPER VASE WOULD BE DELICIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL!
"Rosa ‘The Wedgwood Rose’ (Ausjosiah) – Approximately 70 petals. Repeat-flowering. A charming old rose-style beauty with medium to large blooms and soft rose pink petals that have a delicate, gossamer-like quality. The flowers have a lovely fruity fragrance on the outer petals, with a clove-like scent at the center. Its ample foliage is dark green and glossy. This rose particularly excels when trained as a climber but is also lovely as a flowering shrub. The bush is exceptionally robust with luxuriant, healthy foliage, sending up plentiful shoots from the base to form a large arching shrub that trains readily on trellises and arches to climb upright or in arching or fanned positions. Named for the famous English pottery company founded by Josiah Wedgwood in 1759. Grows to approximately 5 feet x 5 feet. Will grow to 10 feet high as a climber. Hardy in USDA zones 5 – 9."
