David Austin Rose - 'Lichfield Angel'

Pale, peachy pink buds gradually open to form neatly cupped, cream rosettes.  each bloom has aperfect ring of waxy petals enclosing numerous smaller petals.  Eventually the petals turn back to form a large, domed flower with a light, musky fragrance. A repeat flowerer making a large, almost thornless shrub almost a metre and a half high and wide, it will work in all soil types and aspects, as long as it gets at least partial sunlight.  A good rose for shady areas, as well as full sunlight, it will enhance any bed, grow well in a large pot and makes a great decorative low hedge.  Extremely versatile.  Introduced in 2009.

English shrub roses require less pruning and maintenance than many traditional roses, having a naturally shrubby growth, which just needs older and wek stems cutting out or reducing once a year.
