The David Austin – GABRIEL OAK

Currently out of stock online, but limited Gabriel Oak roses may be available at our plant centre, please click HERE to contact us if you are interested.

A magnificent variety, bearing large, many petalled rosette blooms. They are a striking shade of deep pink, the outer petals of each bloom paling slightly over time. The beauty of the blooms is enhanced by a wonderful, strong fruity fragrance. A vigorous rose; it forms a very shapely, broad, rounded shrub with mulberry purple stems and dark green foliage, giving the overall impression of richness and abundance. Named after the beloved character in Thomas Hardy’s novel, Far from the Madding Crowd.

The Alnwick Garden Rose Garden is kindly sponsored by David Austin Roses and has been since 2001. In late June and early July, The Rose Garden erupts into an abundance of colour and smell that’s a treat for the senses. Featuring 3000 English shrub roses and climbers, The Rose Garden requires all round care and maintenance from our Gardening Team.
