Named after the rose breeder David Austin Jr., it is not surprising that the Olivia Rose Austin has become a classic. A repeat bloomer from spring until the fall, the Olivia Rose Austin produces large, pink, cupped rosettes that have a delightful and slightly fruity scent. Its dark green foliage forms an excellent base to help its blooms really stand out. Excellent disease resistance helps ensure this rose remains healthy throughout the growing season.
Bred by the world renowned UK rose breeder, the Olivia Rose Austin is bound to be a talking point. Suitable for growing in USDA zones 5 through 9, its strongly scented flowers are a delight whether left to enjoy in the garden or when used as a cut flower. With a shrub rose habit and a height of around 3.5 feet, this rose is ideal for growing in borders, planting en masse, forming a low informal hedge, or even enhancing a container.
Olivia Rose Austin Care
The Olivia Rose Austin flowers best when grown in full sun. As with all roses, it appreciates fertile soil that is well drained, but evenly moist. A rose-specific fertilizer can be applied during the growing season to help encourage its repeat flowers and to maintain health. Water this rose frequently upon planting and until it has established, after which you can water deeply about once a week.
To keep this rose blooming all season long, any faded flowers should be regularly deadheaded. In late winter, any dead or diseased material can be cut away and the remaining stems shortened by one-third. To help prevent disease, any pruning tools used should be sharpened and cleaned before use.
Olivia Rose Austin Spacing
The Olivia Rose Austin can reach a maximum height of 36-40 inches tall and 30-36 inches wide. If growing this rose in a container, a minimum pot size of 18 inches across is advisable.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
