The Austin rose Roald Dahl bears medium-sized, very nicely double blooms in a clear apricot-orange and yellow. They are nicely rain-resistant and exude a delicate tea-rose fragrance with a hint of raspberry.
The healthy, smaller shrub rose forms a compact, rounded bush that supports itself and its blooms well, and also makes a lovely picture in a larger container. It is also well suited for a low hedge, a bed edging or a group of three in a bed. As for location, it tolerates both full sun and partial shade.
The rose variety Roald Dahl is named after a successful British author, who is also well known here for 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', among other works.

Definitely buy! Beautiful, easy-care, wonderfully growing and flowering pale yellow rose.We planted our Roald Dahl as a bare-root plant in the garden in November 2019, and this year we were surprised not only by the lush growth of the shrub but also by an endless abundance of blooms that lasted well into November. The beautiful double, pale yellow flowers are a true splendour! The Ronald Dahl is by far the most beautifully grown rose in our garden so far. Neither Hero, nor Claire Austin, nor Lady Emma Hamilton established themselves so well despite comparable conditions or developed so magnificently within a year. Absolutely recommended!Automatically translated · Show original
Very accommodating replacement delivery after a wrong deliveryI planted this rose bare-root in spring. And now, 3-4 months later, it bloomed for the first time, unfortunately in pink. It must have been a wrong delivery. I called a few days ago and they immediately offered me a delivery of the right Roald Dahl rose. Yesterday, a, 3 working days later, it had already arrived at my place. That is outstanding customer orientation! MANY THANKS!Automatically translated · Show original
