The timeless beauty of the Desdemona Rose

Delicate and enchanting, the Desdemona English Shrub rose adds a touch of classic beauty to any Australian yard. Whether nestled within mixed borders, forming hedges, or gracing pots, a David Austin® rose like Desdemona will produce chalice-shaped, white blooms all summer long.

Named after Shakespeare's tragic heroine, Desdemona unfurls from peachy pink buds into pearlescent blooms boasting a pristine white hue with subtle pink undertones. The delicately incurved petals create a mesmerizing play of light and shadow, while the bushy shrub maintains a charmingly neat and rounded form.

Breathe in the delightful, strong fragrance of Desdemona’s classic Old Rose scent that exudes subtle hints of almond blossom, crisp cucumber and zesty lemon. Why not plant her next to an outdoor seating or eating space to maximise the enjoyment of the Desdemona rose’s mesmerizing fragrance.
