Desdemona is a beautifully refined English rose, cherished for its pure white blooms, soft blush undertones, and captivating fragrance. Bred by David Austin, this variety combines classic beauty with modern resilience, making it a standout in both gardens and floral designs.
The blooms open from peach-tinted buds into perfectly cupped, snow-white flowers with gently ruffled petals. Its scent is a strong and enchanting blend of old rose and sweet myrrh, filling the air with an aroma that’s both nostalgic and fresh.
Desdemona’s graceful, arching growth habit and glossy foliage create an elegant presence in borders, beds, or as part of a romantic landscape design. It’s known for excellent disease resistance and repeat flowering, offering long-lasting beauty from late spring through to the first frosts.
Whether planted in the garden or cut for an arrangement, Desdemona embodies purity, elegance, and quiet strength. Its serene appearance and rich fragrance make it an ideal choice for weddings, cottage gardens, or anyone seeking a rose with timeless appeal and reliable performance.
