Rose Princess Alexandra of Kent is a repeat flowering shrub rose with unusually large bright pink blooms that are full petalled and deeply cupped. Despite their size the flowers sit neatly on a well rounded plant and carry a strong scent that begins as fresh tea then shifts to lemon with gentle hints of blackcurrant. This variety grows well in sun or partial shade in soil that stays moist yet drains freely and is a striking choice for borders or larger containers where its colour and fragrance can be enjoyed through the season.
