Plant-A-Day 2020 (Day 145) Rose “Lady of Shalott”

Another favorite David Austin rose (but what David Austin rose isn’t a favorite?), this beauty appears more yellowish in the shady nook in which it has found itself than the orangey-gold as portrayed in the Austin catalog. Regardless, it is fantastic and photogenic.

Like the other struggling Austin roses in the orchard garden, I will feed and weed this plant in 2020 and work to propagate it so that I can have its progeny in a sunnier spot. Failing that, I may move the plants themselves late next winter to the memory garden.
