Celebrating the genius of Jane Austen with a selection of quintessentially English roses is a coming together of two iconic parts of our heritage.
Introducing PersuasionTM. The first impression is striking: the strength and depth of the deep pink colour commands attention. Bold yet bright, it radiates energy and confidence. Once the eye adjusts to this vivid intensity, the form of the flower delivers a second surprise: Wow! With over 80 petals crowding in a lavish display, the bloom appears almost chaotic at first glance. But then, order emerges from the exuberance, and the complexity reveals itself in its breathtaking beauty.
The light, spicy fragrance adds a subtle charm, while mid-green foliage with a glossy sheen provides the perfect foil for the flamboyant flowers. Reaching up to 1.2 metres in height, this is a true statement plant – bold, beautiful, and impossible to ignore in any garden setting.
Jane Austen’s House is the inspiring Hampshire cottage where Jane Austen lived for the last eight years of her life and where she wrote, revised, and had published all six of her globally beloved novels: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. Today, Jane Austen’s House is an accredited and cherished museum with an unparallelled collection of Austen treasures, including Jane’s personal letters and first editions of her novels, items of jewellery and the tiny table where she wrote.
Jane Austen’s House is an independent charity dedicated to sharing Jane Austen’s life, works and legacy with the world and devoted to caring for her precious home, preserving it for future generations to visit, enjoy and be inspired by.
£2.50 from the sale of each rose will be donated to Jane Austen’s House (Registered Charity No. 1156458).
