Rose Type: English Rose
Bishop's Castle produces very full, richly colored blooms in shades of rose pink to raspberry pink that soften only slightly as the flowers mature. Each blossom is packed with approximately 80 petals and forms a beautifully cupped, old-fashioned flower with a distinctive button eye at the center. Blooms measure approximately 3–3.5 inches across and appear in repeated flushes throughout the growing season, creating a classic English garden display.
A medium-strong Old Rose fragrance adds to the charm of this David Austin variety. The rounded, bushy plant reaches approximately 4–5 feet in height and develops an abundance of flowers held above healthy growth. Strong disease resistance, combined with tolerance for heat, coastal conditions, and partial shade, makes Bishop's Castle a dependable addition to borders, cottage gardens, and mixed landscapes.
