When relatives or friends come over, or when you host a dinner in the garden, someone almost inevitably stops in front of its flowers. First, it is the color that attracts, then the size of the blooms, and when you get closer, the fragrance emerges. That is where the conversation begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe know this scene well from our own nursery, too. When partners, clients, or friends visit us and find Princess Alexandra of Kent in bloom, the rose does not remain in the background. People ask what it is called, look at its flowers up close, and lean in to smell its fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is one of those roses that not only beautifies a space but brings people together around it. It becomes the center of a discussion, a photograph, or a moment spent together in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Austin introduced the variety in 2007 and named it in honor of Princess Alexandra, a cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, known for her passion for gardening and roses.\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 Princess Alexandra of Kent →\u003c\/summary\u003e\n```\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowers are unusually large, very full of petals, and deeply cupped. The bright pink is easily visible from a distance, and the shape of the flowers remains elegant even when they reach full bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe creator's perspective highlights this very balance: although the flowers have impressive dimensions, they are carried beautifully by the rounded bush and do not take on a heavy or unnatural appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA member of the David Austin team considers it one of their favorite varieties because the large, bright pink flowers catch the eye from a distance and draw you in to discover the strong, fresh fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fragrance starts with the fresh character of tea roses, then evolves into notes of lemon and, finally, hints of blackcurrant. It is not a simple or linear scent, but one that can be discovered differently as the flower opens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRepeated blooming brings new waves of flowers throughout the season. After the first flush, new buds appear, and the bush returns with more large flowers, more shades of pink, and more moments where the garden gains energy again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFamous Roses recommends Princess Alexandra of Kent to those who want an English Rose with clear visual impact, strong fragrance, and flowers that naturally become a focal point when family or friends spend time in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not the right choice if you want a discreet rose with small flowers or a very narrow bush. At maturity, it needs enough space to form its rounded habit and showcase its large flowers.\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 the garden →\u003c\/summary\u003e\n```\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlant it in a spot where the flowers can be seen and admired up close: along a path, near the entrance, close to the terrace, or near the area where you usually receive guests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNear a table or a seating area, Princess Alexandra of Kent can become that rose everyone starts talking about. The flowers attract the gaze, and getting close allows you to discover the fragrance and the rich shape of each rosette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt can be planted in a mixed border, a rose bed, or a flowering hedge. The bright pink combines beautifully with white, blue, purple, or lilac flowers and can be balanced by plants with green, gray, or silver foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt can also be grown in a generous pot, placed on the terrace or near the house, in a spot where the bush has enough space to develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring periods of abundant blooming, you can pick a few flowers for a vase, a bouquet, or a floral arrangement. A single fully opened flower can have enough presence to grab attention on a table, and its fragrance brings a piece of the garden experience indoors.\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\u003eCharacteristics →\u003c\/summary\u003e\n```\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\u003eCreator:\u003c\/strong\u003e David Austin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety code:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ausmerchant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2007\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e intense and bright pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower:\u003c\/strong\u003e large, very full of petals and deeply cupped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eFragrance:\u003c\/strong\u003e strong, with notes of tea, lemon, and blackcurrant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlooming:\u003c\/strong\u003e repeated, in waves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHabit:\u003c\/strong\u003e rounded bush, well-proportioned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 125 cm tall and 125 cm wide\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 mixed beds, borders, rose hedges, large pots, and cut flowers\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 that is shaped and pruned annually.
