Description

Shrub

Gertrude Jekyll® (Ausbord) is one of the most beloved English Roses, celebrated for its rich, bright pink blooms and classic Old Rose fragrance. Introduced by David Austin and named after the famous garden designer and author, this rose has earned global acclaim—crowned the world’s favorite rose in 2025.
Its perfectly scrolled buds open into large, fully double rosette-shaped flowers, glowing pink with paler edges. The scent is strong and beautifully balanced, often described as the quintessential Old Rose perfume, with subtle notes of musk and myrrh.
Gertrude Jekyll® is a vigorous, repeat-flowering rose that adapts beautifully to your garden. It can be grown as a shrub or trained as a short climber and even tolerates dappled shade. Exceptionally versatile, it thrives in borders, mixed plantings, or large containers. For container growing, use a deep pot (45 cm for shrubs, 60 cm for climbers) with a balanced compost mix, and water regularly during dry spells.
This rose is not fussy requiring at least four hours of sunlight and well-drained soil enriched with compost or manure. Planting three together creates a charming, informal effect reminiscent of an English cottage garden.
A true classic, Gertrude Jekyll® combines beauty, fragrance, and adaptability, making it an exquisite choice for any garden.
