Munstead Wood®

When the great David Austin sets out to create a rose bush, he knows that it has to live up to the expectations of the most skilled and demanding gardeners in the world. Because in this competition to earn a place in everyone's hearts there are many suitors, each one more beautiful, famous and awarded by international juries.

And, indeed, that is what he achieves with “Munstead Wood”. We are talking about a fascinating presence in any garden, a rose bush that will stand out among all the others for its formidable combination of color and perfume, an exceptional floribunda, with velvety flowers in shades of purple-red that seem straight out of a romantic novel.

The flowers of “Munstead Wood” are cup-shaped; At first they are large, but then they become shallower. They have approximately 75 petals each and have an intense antique rose scent with fruity notes of blackberries and blueberries, and they bloom repeatedly throughout the season.

At Famous Roses, we especially like this rose bush when the sky is a little cloudy or even starting to drizzle, but there is still a bit of sun. We advise you that when you have it in your house you do not miss those moments: they are the perfect opportunity to go out to the garden and admire it. You will feel for a moment like you are in a British village or a small English garden.

The “Munstead Wood” can reach a height of 60-90 cm in its adult stage, as long as it is cared for and treated with a lot of love. But we know that this will be the case, because we know our clients well.
