Rosa Bathsheba (Pot Size 6L) David Austin Roses sold by Boma Garden Centre

Introduced by David Austin in 2016, Rosa ‘Bathsheba’ is an exquisite English Climbing Rose that captivates with its apricot-yellow buds opening to many-petalled rosettes, blending subtle apricot-pink with soft yellow, edged in creamy outer petals. This beautiful climber evokes the charm and romance of its namesake, the spirited heroine from Thomas Hardy’s “Far from the Madding Crowd”. Bathsheba offers a superb floral myrrh fragrance, enriched with hints of honey and tea, creating an enchanting garden atmosphere. Despite its short stature as a climber, reaching up to 10ft (3m), it is vigorous and perfect for adorning 6ft walls or fences, standard arches, obelisks, pillars, and doorways. This rose thrives in east, south, and west-facing positions in full sunlight and is versatile enough to flourish in all soil types, making it a cherished addition to any garden setting.
