Rosa Bring Me Sunshine - English Rose

The 'Bring Me Sunshine' English Rose is a recent creation by David Austin, known for its radiant flowering in shades of orange and yellow. Its medium-sized double rosettes exude a complex myrrh fragrance. This bushy shrub adorns itself with healthy foliage of medium green. The warm colour of its flowers harmonizes perfectly with white or blue.

Over time, the Bring Me Sunshine English Rose (Ausernie) forms a somewhat rounded bush, reaching 1.25m (4ft) in height with a spread of 1.10m (4ft). Its roses are produced regularly and abundantly from June to October in successive waves as long as the soil does not dry out too much. The flowers are rosette-shaped and filled with tightly packed petals. Their colours range from golden orange to yellow and pale apricot, fading as the hours go by. The thorny stems of this rose are adorned with large, finely cut leaflets of medium green colour with a somewhat elegant matte finish. It is resistant to rose diseases under good growing conditions. It has deciduous foliage, absent in winter.

Combining old roses' beauty with modern roses' advantages, the 'Bring Me Sunshine' rose captures light and attention, bringing a soft touch of colour and fragrance to large shrub borders and perennial beds. It will be beautifully showcased in front of a boxwood or yew screen. If you have enough space, English Roses, old or shrub roses, are magnificent when planted in groups of three. They will grow together to form a single, abundant bush that will flower even more generously. The orange hue of this 'Bring Me Sunshine' rose pairs well with the white blooms of David Austin roses 'Tranquillity' or 'Kew Gardens'.

English Roses are well-known for being reliably perpetual, and their flowers are renowned for their beautiful, regular rosettes and intense fragrance.
