Shrub Roses

Each summer the Proms bring music, tradition and joy to the Royal Albert Hall. From the first shimmering notes to the final chorus, audiences are carried into a world where sound becomes memory. At David Austin^®, we mark this festival in our own way, with roses that are themselves named after music and musicians who have moved us. These varieties hold within them the same qualities of rhythm, harmony and timeless beauty.

With its exquisite deep pink, many-petalled rosette blooms and delightful, fruity fragrance, Gabriel Oak is a captivating English Shrub Rose that infuses any garden with timeless elegance. The vibrant, deep pink flowers contrast beautifully with their lush green foliage, creating a striking visual display that commands attention. Gabriel Oak stands at 4 feet (125 cm) tall, making it a versatile addition to formal garden settings and more natural landscapes.

There is a quiet luminosity to white and cream roses. Soft yet radiant, they have a remarkable ability to lift the garden and bring a sense of calm to the planting around them. Equally at home in traditional gardens and more contemporary spaces, they offer a timeless elegance that never feels overstated. Whether woven through mixed borders, trained over old walls or planted generously in sweeping drifts, white and cream roses bring light, softness and cohesion wherever they grow.
