A true icon among English roses, Gertrude Jekyll® is celebrated for its breathtaking blooms, extraordinary fragrance, and exceptional garden performance. Named after the legendary British garden designer, this beloved David Austin® variety produces large, perfectly formed rosette blooms that emerge from elegantly scrolled buds in a vibrant glowing pink, gradually softening at the edges as the flowers mature.
