David Austin Imogen
Rosa 'AUStritch'
About David Austin® Imogen® Potted Rose Bush Rosa ‘AUStritch’ Imogen® Imogen is a romantic English Shrub Rose from the David Austin collection, adored for its elegant ruffled blooms and gentle apple-like fragrance. Soft lemon-yellow petals open in densely packed, double rosettes with a charming button eye, gradually fading to a near-cream tone as they age. This rose carries a light fruity scent and blooms generously from late spring through fall, making it a graceful standout in mixed borders or cottage-style gardens.
