Claire Austin® David Austin® Climbing Rose

Elegant, luminous, and exceptionally fragrant, Claire Austin® is one of the finest white climbing roses ever introduced by David Austin®. Named after Claire Austin, daughter of David Austin Sr. and sister of David Austin Jr., this beloved variety is admired for its graceful beauty, remarkable vigor, and outstanding garden performance.

The blooms begin as soft pale lemon buds, gradually opening into beautifully cupped, creamy white flowers with perfectly arranged petals forming elegant concentric circles. With approximately 120 petals per bloom, each flower embodies the timeless romance and refinement that define David Austin English roses.

One of Claire Austin®'s most celebrated qualities is its powerful myrrh fragrance, enriched with delicate notes of meadowsweet, vanilla, and heliotrope, creating a rich, sophisticated perfume that lingers throughout the garden. Blooming repeatedly from late spring through fall, it offers a continuous display of elegant flowers against attractive matte green foliage.

Its vigorous, upright growth habit makes Claire Austin® an exceptional medium-sized climber, quickly covering arches, walls, pillars, fences, and entryways with cascading blooms. Healthy, reliable, and adaptable to a variety of garden conditions, it remains one of the premier white climbing roses available today.
