Straight from the box #TheKingsRose early Father’s Day pressie, plenty of buds

A pink and white striped rose with a bee hovering just above it. This is a new rose from David Austin to celebrate the King’s Foundation

It seems this new rose is quite the Marmite rose. You either love it or hate it. Personally, I love it. The scent is amazing. It sits well with other pink roses in my cottage garden. I love its quirky candy cane stripes 😍 #bloomscrolling #thekingsrose #davidaustin #roses #flowers #cottagegarden

He’s here!! #RoseWednesday

Unpacked, given some water and popped into the shade to acclimatise to his new home. 😍

'The King's Rose' looks like the rose 'Iceberg' ate a boiled lolly and then threw it up.

TBH it looks like a petunia ($3 for a punnet of 6). Or it looks like a discounted rose from Walmart. Or it looks like something your Auntie gives you because she 'hasn't got the room for it' in her garden. Or it looks like a discarded council cleanup potted plant.
