Why Choose Queen of Sweden Rose?
The Queen of Sweden Rose, bred by David Austin in the United Kingdom, is admired worldwide for its upright form, refined pastel coloring, and classic English elegance. Its soft pink petals open from apricot-tinted buds into well-formed cup blooms, radiating a gentle myrrh fragrance. This variety is a favorite among florists and gardeners for its neatly layered petals, few thorns, and long stems ideal for cutting and floral arrangements.
