The Bathsheba Rose begins with warm apricot-yellow buds that open into shallowly cupped, many-petalled rosettes. Each bloom displays a beautiful blend of subtle apricot-pink and soft yellow, creating an overall impression of glowing apricot, enhanced by creamy outer petals that add depth and elegance. The fragrance is exceptional — a rich floral myrrh scent intertwined with gentle honey and Tea notes, making this rose as captivating in scent as it is in colour. Bathsheba forms a vigorous climbing rose, ideal for arches, pillars, trellises and walls, where its romantic blooms can be enjoyed at eye level. Its growth is strong and graceful, with repeat flowering that brings lasting beauty throughout the season. This variety is named after the heroine Bathsheba Everdene from Thomas Hardy’s classic novel Far from the Madding Crowd, adding a touch of literary charm to its already irresistible appeal.
