Fighting Temeraire

David Austin English Rose

‘Fighting Temeraire' is a rose of very different character to most English Roses, with fully open flowers. These are 4-5" across, have only ten petals, and are produced with exceptional abundance. Rich apricot colour, with a halo of yellow behind the stamens. By the time the petals are ready to drop, the colour has faded to a soft yellow-apricot. The tips of the pointed buds are red, as are the young leaves and foliage, further enhancing the effect.
‘Fighting Temeraire' is particularly healthy and vigorous and will develop into a most attractive rounded shrub, the many stems producing a mass of flowers held in large heads.
The fragrance is medium to strong, very fruity with a strong element of lemon zest.
‘Fighting Temeraire' is a painting from 1839 by the famous landscape painter, watercolourist and printmaker, JMW Turner.
5 x 4ft.
