Interesting Note
Kate is one of David Austin’s distinctive Wedding & Event Roses, loved for her dramatic colouring and intensely ruffled flowers.
The blooms begin deeply cupped before gradually opening into broad, very full rosettes with beautifully wavy petals. Her colour can evolve as the flower matures, ranging from vivid fuchsia and rich magenta to deeper crimson and burgundy-purple tones.
The combination of bold colour and romantic English-rose form makes Kate particularly striking both on the plant and as a cut flower.
🇸🇬 Singapore Note
Kate can potentially be grown in Singapore, although her performance under our consistently hot and humid conditions may differ from cooler climates.
