‘Carding Mill’ David Austin Shrub Rose 3 Gallon Pot

If you love a plant that puts on a show, this is it. ‘Carding Mill’ starts the season with large, cupped blooms in a rich peachy-orange, then the magic begins. As the days pass, the flowers soften and shift into warm apricot-pink, creating a constantly changing color display. The plant itself grows dense and upright, bursting into bloom in late May and early June, and thanks to its excellent rebloom, the flower show keeps going all summer long. Hardy, disease resistant, and reliable, it’s a beautiful choice for gardeners who want big impact without big fuss.

But the real secret? The fragrance. This is one of the most delightfully fruity scented roses from David Austin Roses—the kind you’ll want to stop and smell every time you walk by. Behind the name: Named for the beautiful Carding Mill Valley in England.
