  • We are no longer growing this rose. We maintain this listing for our customer's reference purposes.

    You can find a similar rose in our David Austin Roses collection.

    A tall shrub with attractive, rather arching growth and glossy foliage. The flowers are of a lovely glowing apricot-pink and of formal rosette shape. It is extremely hardy and reliable, making it an ideal rose for further back in the border, where it will withstand some competition better than most.

    It is a fragrant with elements of tea and fruit. Good repeat-flowering, especially for a shrub of its size. Good disease-resistance.

    Named after the artist, designer and writer to mark the centenary of the University of East London.

True to William Morris

This is a very pretty rose, mine is more pink/peach and is dainty and compact. The rose lasts well on the busy. I have had no disease issues. Planted in zone 7 and is now a year old rose. Handled the winter well. It is a small upright bush.

Just a baby but good so far

Zone 6: I planted this in late June just as it got very hot -up to 100 degrees in Oklahoma. I did make a big effort to amend the planting hole with compost , manure and humus, add mychorrizidhal fungus, use only a top dressing of organic slow release fertilizer ( Milorganite ). I was taking no chances, Despite the fact that I was warned that it might not bloom till next year I discovered 2 lovely blossoms today-less than 2 weeks later ! I'm a lifelong admirer of William Morris so it is fun to have this rose in the garden.
The color is soft and lovely. The blooms are small and very delicate. No black spot and it has been raining. I think that it will be just lovely next spring.

beautiful memory

This rose was first given to me in 2001 in memory of my son, William J. Morris IV. It lasted until we moved in 2017. My husband located Heirloom Roses company and much to our surprise, they carry this beautiful English rose. We now live in the south zone 8A. It is just as beautiful here as it was in NY. Thank you for still carrying this beautiful rose , it's history has such meaning.
