Rosa 'Sir John Betjeman' is a repeat-flowering classic English shrub rose with a gentle arching habit. Small buds open to large, bright pink double rosettes, which develop a more domed shape and more intense shade of pink as they mature. Flowers have a mild, fresh fragrance.
The intense colour of the flowers makes Rosa 'Sir John Betjeman' an ideal rose to grow in a border with contrasting paler flower colours. It's also suitable for growing in more formal rose beds.
