DESCRIPTION
Rosa ‘Sir John Betjeman’ is an English shrub rose known for its bright crimson‑red, full‑petalled rosettes that open from small buds and deepen in color as they age. These very full flowers emerge in repeat flushes from late spring through autumn and give off a light, fresh fragrance. Glossy dark green foliage frames each bloom, and its bushy, rounded form with slightly arching stems fills beds, borders, or paths with rich floral color.
This rose was bred by David C. H. Austin in the United Kingdom and introduced in 2008. It is celebrated for its consistent bloom performance, healthy foliage, and color depth—even in ageing petals. Named in honor of the writer‑broadcaster Sir John Betjeman, this rose blends garden presence and refined garden elegance.
