The Generous Gardener
The Generous Gardener
Generous Gardener Rose is a beloved climbing rose by David Austin, celebrated for its soft pink, cupped blooms and graceful, arching habit. This rose is exceptionally fragrant, offering a blend of Old Rose, musk, and myrrh, which enhances its appeal in the garden. Blooms appear in generous clusters, repeating throughout the season, and add a romantic charm to trellises, walls, and arbours.
Ideal for cooler climates, The Generous Gardener can thrive in Zones 4 and up, though some winter protection is recommended in colder zones. It reaches an impressive height of 10-15 feet when used as a climber or can be pruned to maintain a smaller, shrub-like form. Its disease resistance and robust growth make it an ideal choice for Canadian gardens looking for both beauty and resilience.
