Rose Type: English Rose
Roald Dahl produces charming, medium-sized blooms in warm shades of peach and apricot that gradually open from soft orange-red buds into perfectly formed, cupped rosettes. Each flower contains approximately 55 petals, creating the full, old-fashioned appearance that English Roses are known for. The rich apricot coloring was chosen to honor the beloved author's classic story James and the Giant Peach, giving this variety a meaningful connection to its namesake.
A lovely fruity Tea fragrance fills the garden as this rose flowers repeatedly from late spring through fall. The rounded, bushy shrub matures to approximately 4 feet tall and wide, producing abundant blooms on a plant with relatively few thorns. Strong disease resistance, excellent cutting qualities, and both heat and shade tolerance make Roald Dahl a versatile addition to borders, hedges, containers, and mixed garden plantings.
