English rose 'The Mayflower' - developed by David Austin - is very charming with its medium-sized, fully double, pink rosettes (140 petals). This shrub rose is rich in a strong old rose fragrance. The unique features of this rose bush are: complete resistance to black spot, powdery mildew, or rust, and its continuous blooming - from very early in the season (earlier than all other roses) until frost. 'The Mayflower' is truly a small, compact, impressively bushy, and extremely healthy rose bush with excellent vigor and a quick repeat bloom that is rarely without flowers! The shrubs have small, matte green leaves and grow bushy with strong branched growth.
