About David Austin® Glamis Castle Potted Rose Bush

Rosa ‘AUSlevel’   Glamis Castle

Glamis Castle is a compact English shrub rose bred by David C. H. Austin in the United Kingdom in 1992 and introduced into the USA by David Austin Roses (USA) in the mid‑1990s. Named after the historic Scottish estate, it features creamy white, fully cupped rosettes with rich myrrh fragrance. Exceptionally floriferous on a neat, rounded shrub, it is ideal for smaller gardens, borders, or low hedging and even makes an elegant cut flower.
