The Scepter’d Isle rose is a beautiful English shrub rose by David Austin, known for its soft pink, cup-shaped blooms and strong, myrrh-like fragrance. Named after a line in Shakespeare's Richard II, this rose combines elegance with classic charm. The flowers are medium-sized with a high petal count and bloom continuously from late spring through fall. The outer petals are pale pink, while the inner petals are a warmer blush, creating a soft gradient effect.
This rose grows into an upright, bushy shrub with glossy, dark green foliage, adding visual depth and resilience to garden landscapes. Scepter’d Isle is versatile and well-suited for borders, mixed beds, or containers, making it a favourite for garden design.

Bear root came in April with only 1 small shoot. Even after planting it, it did not show any promising growth. After few weeks it started to grow. Today, June 30th I see my 1st to blooms. It has a strong smell but cannot say yet how nice it is. Flowers are small and pale pink closer to the colour of queen of Sweden.
When I came to purchase, the owner of Prettypetals explained to me thoroughly on how to take care of it along with why it can handle our summers, and I planted my rosebush recently and its doing so well, even after the spikes in hot temps. Ontop of that I already see flower buds. For me, I am satisfied and excited to see what it will look like.
It was my first time buying bare root and I always was sceptical about it, based on the mixed (oftentimes negative) feed backs that I was reading in rose gardening pages. But I dared to step out of my comfort zone and reached out to Pretty Petalls. I ordered Scepter'd Isle, and later on I added Damask Kasanlik and Damask Autumn rose to my order. I was very much for instant replies, every time that I reached out to Pretty Petals for a new request or a question. They supported my wish and modified my order right away, so that I could pay and add more roses to that. My bare roots arrived within a day from shipping. They were secured and packed in a firm great package. And they are literally the freshest happiest and most vigorous bare roots I had ever seen!! They had many large buds on them already, and the roots were kept very damp with some mud on them. My heart was happy and I was in tears! 🥹❤️I absolutely love my roses! 🥰I can not say enough thanks to Pretty Petals for making this first time experience, such an incredible sweet memory for me! I give Pretty Petals seven stars ✨ out of five!!!!!☺️🙏🌸🌿
This is one of my favourite roses. The colour and shape of the bloom is beautiful, and the scent is amazing. The rose arrived looking very healthy, with clear planting instructions, and it is already putting out healthy new growth
