Description
The English rose Olivia Rose Austin, which received numerous accolades during its presentation, is, according to its creator, one of the best varieties and one of the most resistant in his entire collection. Its large flowers are like Old Roses, beautiful at all stages of their blooming, opening in light, but very full and large cups. Their petals display a delightful soft pink hue, paler at the edges, and hide an intense fragrance with distinct fruity notes. This rose is named after the breeder's granddaughter, a testament to the attachment he has for her!
This modest-sized rose, but with particularly vigorous growth, will form a well-balanced bush, 1m (3ft) tall and 75 cm (30in) wide. Its sturdy stems are covered with glossy foliage, green with bronze and purple hues, typical of the Leander group, and disease-free. Its flowering is particularly early, and it reblooms 3 times a year, early in the season and until late autumn. On this well-blooming bush, the small bright pink buds that are beautifully incurved open very gradually to form a round and very full flower over 8 cm (3in) in size, composed of numerous petals. They have a transparent and fresh colour, a light and vivid pink, taking on lilac hues when fully open and a delicious and fruity fragrance.
As Wilhem Kordes, the famous German hybridiser, so beautifully said, 'Think that roses are part of these intangible elements that define the level of our culture. (...) Because the rose is the most perfect expression, even the symbol of a noble lady: it is tenderness, beauty, grace, elegance, sweetness, and charm all at once.' A quote that suits this beautiful rose 'Olivia Rose Austin' perfectly, which will find its place in both a romantic and natural garden, or even in a scented garden. It can be mixed with flowering bushes (buddleias, lilacs, spireas, deutzias, mock oranges, kolkwitzias), near the house or in front of a large bed. In mixed borders, it will accompany perennial plants, to which it will bring exuberance and fragrance, lightweight annuals, and even grasses, whose tufted foliage will cover its base.

Planting and care
Plant your English Rose Olivia Rose Austin in a sunny or lightly shaded position. English roses are tolerant but they will not like excessive chalk. They will adapt to any garden as long as the soil is well worked and rich enough. To plant your rose, prepare the soil by breaking it up well and adding an amendment, such as bonemeal, to the bottom of the planting hole. Water generously after planting to remove air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to encourage rooting.
Pruning English roses is essential for flowering. At the end of winter, shorten the branches to 3-5 buds above ground level (at the lowest), choosing an outward-facing bud for a more elegant habit. Take advantage of this pruning to remove dead wood and unsightly branches. Prune at an angle above a bud. As the flowers bloom, remove faded flowers, as this stimulates the development of other buds.
For climbing roses: the previous year's flowering stems should be reduced to 3 or 4 buds or pruned to 15cm (6in). The new strong stems should be tied and the old stems removed if necessary. Choose an outward-facing bud for a more elegant habit. Take advantage of this pruning to remove dead wood and unsightly branches. Prune at an angle above a bud. As the flowers bloom, remove faded flowers, as this stimulates the development of other buds.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
