David Austin Keira scented rosesThe Stunning David Austin Wedding Rose Keira has natural charm and glorious,
vintage-style blooms. This unusual rose breaks all the normal rules for the cut
flower industry, because each rose is subtly different in color, being a beautiful
blend of blush pink and cream, often with warm peachy highlights.

The lovely Keira has a medium-strong rose fragrance. Some blooms have an
irregular flush of pink that highlights the edge of the outer petals, creating a very
soft picotee effect. We think that this variation adds to the natural charm of the rose.
