DESCRIPTION
Rosa ‘Auskeppy’ (also sold as Grace®) is an English shrub rose that opens with warm apricot to salmon‑orange blooms that gradually soften toward paler edges. The richly formed, cupped flowers carry a strong tea fragrance and appear in repeated flushes from late spring through fall, set against fresh, apple‑green foliage. The plant forms an arching, elegant shrub with an abundant floral display.
Introduced by David Austin in 2001, this rose blends classic charm with modern performance. Its clean habit and reliable reblooming make it a favorite in cottage gardens, mixed borders, or as a memorable focal point. The fragrant apricot tones deepen in cooler weather, offering subtle variation through the season.
