(Shrub) Richly fragrant and endlessly captivating, The Athenaeum produces sumptuous, ball-shaped blooms in warm apricot blends, each petal seemingly layered with sunset hues. Flowering generously from June through to September, this repeat-blooming beauty is a true border showstopper, equally glorious when cut and brought indoors. Named in honour of the prestigious Athenaeum Club in London, one of the capital's most distinguished private members' clubs, it carries a legacy of refinement entirely befitting its character.

Frequently asked questions

Bare-root The Athenaeum Rose roses are best planted during their dormant season, from November to March, which is also when we dispatch them. Potted roses are grown in containers and can be planted at any time of year — just avoid periods of hard frost or drought, and water thoroughly after planting.

Every rose we sell is covered by our 1-year Rose Guarantee, so you can plant The Athenaeum Rose with confidence. See our Rose Guarantee page for the full details.

Often, yes — we grow our roses ourselves and stock varies through the season, so a variety that's sold out can come back. Use the "Notify me" button above to be emailed the moment The Athenaeum Rose is back in stock.

The Athenaeum Rose's mature growth range is 4ft x 3ft. Growing conditions such as soil, sunlight, feeding and pruning can affect the final size, so treat this as a guide rather than an exact figure.
