What customers say
The Ambridge Rose is highly cherished for its exquisite, deeply cupped blooms featuring warm apricot, peach, and soft pink tones. Reviewers consistently praise its reliable and impressive repeat flowering, ensuring continuous garden color. Its defining feature is a powerful myrrh fragrance, which is intoxicating to most but polarizing for some due to medicinal notes.
