Description
The English rose Darcey Bussell proves to be one of the most resistant roses in the David Austin collection, and probably one of its best red roses to date. Its flowers, round and very double, display a vibrant and velvety crimson hue at full bloom, which darkens slightly to bluish purple before fading. It forms a modest-sized bush, with continuous flowering until the frosts, and its roses release a unique, fruity and herbaceous scent, which is very noticeable. This variety is particularly suitable for container cultivation, and it will easily find its place at the front of shrub borders or among light perennials.
This rose, reaching a height of 1m (3ft) and a width of 70cm (28in), has robust health. Its flower, with outer petals forming an almost perfect circle, encloses a sumptuous rosette that reveals the depth of its red shades. They are also impervious to rain, which does not affect their brilliance or texture. The fragrant roses bloom throughout the summer and often into November. They are of medium size, around 7 to 8cm (3in) in diameter. Their scent is rustic, with fruity notes and a hint of grass, of medium intensity. This rose has a bushy and low habit, with rather bluish deciduous foliage that is remarkably resistant to diseases.
The bushy and compact growth of this rose makes it an ideal plant for borders, but it could also integrate well into a small flowering hedge. It allows for beautiful associations with annual or perennial plants, in a harmonious or contrasting style, in a modern and minimalist garden or, alternatively, in a wilder garden. As companion plants, you can choose tall perennials (Persicaria amplexicaulis 'Blackfield', Allium, digitalis, linaria, paniculate phlox, aconites) or groundcovering plants (verbascum, Cotoneaster dammeri), airy plants (gauras, gypsophila) or graphic plants (grasses), climbing plants (clematis, sweet peas) or trailing plants (purple morning glories, petunias), and thus create endlessly varied scenes and promote biodiversity.
Obtained by David Austin in 2006. Hybrid of an Old Rose rose.

Planting and care
Plant your English Rose 'Darcey Bussell' in a sunny or lightly shaded position. English roses are tolerant but they won't like excessive limestone. They will adapt to any garden as long as the soil is well worked and rich enough. To plant your rose, work the soil by crumbling it and put an amendment at the bottom of the planting hole, such as bonemeal. Water generously after planting to remove any air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to encourage rooting.
Pruning English roses is essential for flowering. At the end of winter, shorten the branches to 3-5 buds above the ground (at the lowest), choose an outward-facing bud for a more elegant habit. Take advantage of this pruning to remove dead wood and unsightly branches. Pruning is done at an angle above a bud. As the flowers bloom, remove faded flowers, this stimulates the development of other buds.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
