This rose decided to play nice this year. Its growth habit is usually bushy and stingy at my place.

Comments (9)My LoS is 12 ft and would be bigger if I let it. I have it espaliered on a wire fence. GC seems to be going to be at least 10ft here. I just got it last spring so who knows. They are both grafted and I live in a warm climate so they get bigger than in some places. Quicksilver is around 8ft here so far. I have 3. 2 are own root and 1 is grafted. The 2 own root are taller than the grafted one so far, lol. LoS has some yellow tones in it. Orange/apricot goes well with lavenders. I guess its just personal preference. Lady of Shalott Quicksilver..often has Quartered blooms If you like pinks, peach and yellow in a large shrub that blooms alot, then I highly recommend Peach Swirl..colors start out strong then mellow and meld together into huge fluffy cupcake blooms. You can even use it to "tie" other colors together in the flowerbed. I use it in a mostly David Austin bed to tie the pinks, lavender, orange, coral, and yellows together in that bed. Stronger colors when opening. Really, Peach Swirl outshines the Austins and is the star of the show lol. Mellowed out peachy, yellows when more open....See MoreLady of Shalott
Comments (30)Helen, your LOS looks beautiful! Mine looks like the Dickens right now. The tree (my neighbor's) that used to shade it from the worst of the afternoon sun, was cut down earlier this year. So the poor thing gets the brunt of the sun all day long and is planted next to the cement walkway and cement driveway, which throws off all sorts of ambient heat. However, that being said, she is throwing out long canes and semi double flowers that smell like spiced baked apples to me. I love her scent! I will be buying a tuteur for her for next year to wrap those canes around. She does produce laterals. I do have to say mine is own root and she does take some time to come into her own. I had her in a totally sunny spot and she hated it. I moved her to partial shade and she was much better. Now the poor thing is in total sun again. I feel bad for her! Other than to dig her up and move her (my neighbors would complain as they love this rose!), there is no way to provide shade for her in the afternoon. When she was in the shade, she produced more pinkish flowers. Her flowers are pretty much orange in the sun. LOS in the spring--the other flowers there are a flowering pomegranate. LOS in spring (many moons ago) when it was cold and rainy and not in blazing sun....See MoreGenerous Gardener vs Lady of Shalott vs Claire Austin
Comments (5)Hi Yulia, Lady of Shalott is one of my most floriferous roses. It's pretty resistant to blackspot, does tolerate shade, it's not especially fragrant. It's hardy here and while it grows tall in warmer zones, in z5 it is better maintained as a 4-5' tall shrub, and responds well to pruning and shaping. The only really hardy, vigorous repeat blooming climber I've ever grow is Purple Splash. It's wonderful but not fragrant and not shade tolerant. Cold zoners here will certainly have some good suggestions....See MoreDavid Austin Shrub Rose - Lady of Shalott (2nd year - 2nd flush)

Lady of Shalott is my favorate DA rose regarding the form: shrub and bloom. And the healthiest too. Not rigid yet not drooping.
It produces first bloom today . I really love the color
@Kristine LeGault 8a pnw, I haven’t noticed she is very thorny. I assume I haven’t tried to prune her yet😼
