Constance Spry
Description
Constance Spry® is one of the most iconic roses in David Austin’s history — the first English Rose he introduced, in 1961. This vigorous climbing rose produces large, deeply cupped blooms in soft to rich pink, with a distinctive old-fashioned form and a powerful myrrh fragrance. Unlike many later David Austin varieties, Constance Spry® flowers once each season, creating a spectacular spring to early-summer display over several weeks. Reaching up to 20 feet when mature, it is best suited to large arches, pergolas, walls, fences, and cottage-style gardens where its graceful growth and romantic blooms can be fully appreciated.
