Princess Alexandra of Kent

Full description:

Some roses quietly complete a garden. Princess Alexandra of Kent® does something more: it becomes a conversation.

Its large, bright pink flowers have the kind of presence that makes guests stop, look closer and ask its name. This is a rose for gardens where beauty is meant to be noticed, enjoyed and remembered, bringing colour, fragrance and a sense of quiet luxury to every flowering flush.

Created by David Austin, Princess Alexandra of Kent® carries the unmistakable charm of an English rose: full, romantic blooms, generous flowering and a refined garden character. Each flower can have around 100–120 petals, opening into rich, rounded blooms painted in luminous shades of pink.

The fragrance is one of its most memorable qualities. Strong, fresh and elegant, with a lemony character, it makes this rose especially rewarding near terraces, paths, windows or seating areas, where its perfume can be enjoyed naturally throughout the day.

At Famous Roses, we see Princess Alexandra of Kent® as one of those roses that easily becomes the centre of attention during a garden visit. It has the beauty to impress from a distance and the fragrance to reward anyone who comes closer.

With repeat flowering throughout the season, healthy foliage and a mature height of approximately 120–140 cm, it is a wonderful choice for gardeners who want a rose with both emotional presence and dependable garden performance.
