Rosa 'Cathedral Bells' | Cathedral Bells Rose
DESCRIPTION
Rosa ‘Cathedral Bells’ is a shrub rose with clusters of deeply cupped, lilac-pink blooms with layered petals and a strong anise-lavender fragrance. These richly scented flowers appear from late spring and continue in flushes through fall, carried above glossy dark green foliage on slightly arching stems. Its upright, slightly spreading habit combined with clean, disease-resistant leaves makes it well-suited for beds, mixed borders, or containers.
Bred in France by Georges Delbard around 2004, and introduced commercially in 2018, this rose is recognized for its classic bloom form and powerful scent. Awarded ADR status in Germany, ‘Cathedral Bells’ offers dependable performance, soothing fragrance, and elegant presence throughout the garden season.
