Description

Elegant and beautifully fragrant, Claire Austin is one of David Austin’s finest white roses. With creamy buds that open into large, cup-shaped blooms of soft white and a rich myrrh scent, it’s a showstopper in any garden. Whether grown as a climber over an arch or trained along a fence, it brings a classic English charm to South London’s urban spaces. Beautiful when paired with lavender, foxgloves, or airy grasses for contrast.
