‘Desdemona’ is a beautifully balanced English shrub rose, named after the tragic heroine of Shakespeare’s Othello. Peachy-pink buds open to white, chalice-shaped blooms with a soft blush and layers of incurved petals that play delicately with light and shadow. The strong Old Rose fragrance carries unique notes of almond blossom, cucumber, and lemon zest—fresh and unforgettable.
Compact and rounded, this variety forms a tidy shrub that's ideal for containers, borders, or cutting gardens. Reliable and repeat blooming, ‘Desdemona’ performs beautifully in Pacific Northwest gardens with proper sunlight and care.
