Care guide

Quick ID

David Austin English shrub rose ('Teasing Georgia'). Yellow, deep at the center fading to paler edges; fragrant; can climb. Repeat-blooming and fragrant, with classic full-petalled English flower form on a rounded shrub.

Sun & Site

Full sun (6+ hrs) in rich, well-drained, moisture-retentive soil. Light afternoon shade is tolerated and can protect bloom color in Draper's intense sun.

Pruning & Shaping

Prune early-to-mid March (reduce ~1/3, cut to outward-facing buds). Wait until no hard freeze below 20°F is in the 10-day forecast — early pruning before a freeze causes tender-growth dieback. Deadhead spent blooms to keep it flowering.
