Overview
Heritage is an English rose from David Austin, released in 1984 and also sold as English Heritage or Roberta. It forms a shrub with pink, cupped blooms holding roughly 26 to 40 petals, and its scent is strong with a fruity note. Its parentage combines an unnamed seedling with a cross of Iceberg and Wife of Bath. Treat it as a shrub rose in a border, where the soft pink colour sits easily with perennials. A good pick for gardeners who want a classic Austin rose chosen for fragrance.
