About David Austin® Emily Bronte

David Austin® Emily Bronte Potted Rose Bush

Rosa 'AUSearnshaw' PP 31,400  Emily Bronte

Named in honor of the great English novelist, Emily Brontë is an English shrub rose known for its elegant, flat blooms with soft pink outer petals and a warm apricot center that gradually fades to cream. The flowers are rich in character, with a complex fragrance combining tea and old rose notes, layered with hints of lemon and grapefruit.

Before planting

Keep your rose in its pot in a sunny spot and water it well while you prepare the bed. Choose a place with at least six hours of sun and soil that drains well. Water the pot thoroughly an hour before planting.

Planting your potted rose

Dig a hole twice as wide as the pot and about as deep. Ease the rose out, loosen any circling roots and set it so the top of the root ball sits level with the ground. Backfill with garden soil mixed with compost, firm gently and water deeply.

First season watering and care

Water deeply two to three times a week through the first season, more often in hot weather, letting the top inch of soil dry between waterings. Mulch keeps the roots cool. Start feeding once new growth appears, and remove spent blooms to keep the flowers coming.

I recently bought their 1 gallon and I was so happy to receive a well sized rose with seven stems! They did a really good job growing these as the stems were pretty thick.
