Rosa 'St Ethelburga' is a highly scented old fashioned hybrid tea rose, which was named after the church of the same name in Bishopsgate, London. It's a bushy shrub rose with thorny stems and pinnate, glossy, toothed leaves. It bears large clusters of fragrant, fully double, light pink flowers from late spring into autumn.

Rosa 'St Ethelburga' is ideal for growing in a mixed herbaceous border, in a large pot or even as a compact hedge. Deadhead blooms regularly to prolong flowering, and mulch in autumn with well-rotted manure.
