Overview
A Shropshire Lad is an English rose from David Austin, introduced in 1996 and patented in the US in 1998 as PP10607 under the code name 'Ausled'. It came from a cross of 'Heritage' with an unnamed seedling. The pink blooms are very full, carrying around 86 petals each, and measure roughly 3 in (7.6 cm) across. Its scent is rated strong, so it earns a spot close to a path, patio or window where the fragrance can be enjoyed. Like other English roses it grows as a shrub and suits mixed borders and cottage-style plantings.
