And, to make the rose complete, he endowed it with a strong, refined fragrance, naming his entire creation Gertrude Jekyll.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat is how this spectacular English rose, full of color and romance, came to life, a rose that should not be missing from any garden in the world. And, especially, from any of our gardens, be it in Bârlad, Azuga, Timișoara, Murfatlar, or wherever our friends write to us that they wish to beautify their lives with this wonderful rose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe variety is named after Gertrude Jekyll, one of the most famous British garden designers and authors. It is a fitting name for a rose that brings together the rich form of the flowers, the fragrance of old roses, and the warm atmosphere that a well-tended garden builds over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2025, the Gertrude Jekyll rose received the \"World’s Favourite Rose\" title from the World Federation of Rose Societies. Almost four decades after its introduction, it continues to be chosen and admired in gardens around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"fr-pdp-close\"\u003eSee less →\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhy choose Gertrude Jekyll →\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe strong fragrance, with the refined character of old roses, is one of the reasons why Gertrude Jekyll remains so highly appreciated. When a new flower opens, being close to the shrub allows you to discover its fragrance and the rosette shape, petal by petal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe intense pink attracts the eye from a distance, and the large, rich flowers give the shrub a clear presence in the garden. The tightly swirled buds open gradually, so you can watch the transformation of each bloom until it reaches its full rosette form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowers return in waves throughout the season. After the first flush, other buds appear, and each return brings more rosettes to admire, more flowers to smell, and another reason to stop by the rose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs the plant matures, the space chosen for it gains more volume and presence. You no longer watch just every individual flower, but the entire evolution of the shrub, from the new canes and the appearance of the buds to the return of color after each break between the flowering waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFamous Roses recommends Gertrude Jekyll to those who want more than just a pink rose: a variety with a strong old rose fragrance, rich flowers, bright color, and a presence that becomes even more beautiful as the shrub matures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe shrub has a vigorous and upright habit and needs enough space to grow naturally. It is not the right choice for a spot where the plant must remain very low, very narrow, or strictly contained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"fr-pdp-close\"\u003eSee less →\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow to integrate it into your garden →\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlant it along a pathway, near the entrance, by the terrace, or near an area where you spend time. In a frequented spot, the fragrance can be enjoyed as you pass through the garden, when you drink your coffee outside, or when you lean in to see what flower has opened next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also choose a spot that you can see from the window or the terrace. This way, you can watch the appearance of the buds, the opening of the flowers, and the change in the shrub from one flowering wave to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe upright habit makes it recommended for mixed borders, rose beds, or flowering hedges. The bright pink can be highlighted by plants with green, gray, or silver foliage and by flowers in shades of white, blue, or purple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring periods of rich flowering, you can pick a few rosettes for a vase, a bouquet, or a floral arrangement. The flowers can bring the same color and fragrance to your table that you enjoy in the garden, or they can become a bouquet offered to a loved one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"fr-pdp-close\"\u003eSee less →\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eSpecifications →\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e shrub English rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreeder:\u003c\/strong\u003e David Austin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety code:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ausbord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear of introduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1986\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e bright, intense pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower:\u003c\/strong\u003e large, very rich, rosette-shaped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate number of petals:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eFragrance:\u003c\/strong\u003e strong, old rose character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering:\u003c\/strong\u003e repeat, in waves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHabit:\u003c\/strong\u003e vigorous and upright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 110 cm in height and 90 cm in width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eExposure:\u003c\/strong\u003e sun or light partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eUsage:\u003c\/strong\u003e beds, borders, rose hedges, and cut flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistinction:\u003c\/strong\u003e World’s Favourite Rose, 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"fr-pdp-note\"\u003eThe dimensions are approximate and refer to a mature plant, shaped and pruned annually.
