The Pilgrim Rose
The Pilgrim is one of David Austin’s most graceful yellow English roses, admired for its soft coloring and beautifully balanced character. The blooms open in a pale butter-yellow, with outer petals fading into creamy tones that give the flower a gentle, luminous glow. Each rosette is neatly formed, never heavy, creating an airy and elegant presence in the garden.
Its fragrance is fresh and pleasant, combining light tea notes with subtle fruit. While not overpowering, the scent adds a soft brightness that fits perfectly with the rose’s refined personality. The Pilgrim blooms generously throughout the season, producing clusters that create a warm, welcoming atmosphere wherever it is planted.
This variety is especially well suited for vertical gardening. With training, The Pilgrim becomes a graceful climber capable of covering arches, pillars, and trellises with long, pliable stems lined in soft yellow blooms. Because it remains harder to find in own-root form in the U.S., The Pilgrim has become a cherished choice for gardeners who love gentle colors and reliable climbing performance.

I bought this rose four years ago and it’s my best producer. The cuttings last for at least one to two weeks. I’ve had no issues with diseases and the maintenance is minimal. I would 100% recommend this rose to anyone.
Beautiful rose great condition one week and great adaption in new soil
Arrived a few weeks ago and is blooming already. It’s going to be gorgeous!
I was afraid that the roses would not look good as they were to be delivered Friday and here it is the next Tuesday. There are still leaves and buds and the green sticks still look moist.
I was waiting for her month, but she is adorable. I never seen more beauties than this coral.
This rose is tough, even started growing in Jan 8b weather, very nice
Took longer to ship and arrive than I anticipated, but I've never seen a rose better packed and secured for shipping. The plant itself also looks fantastic and is bigger than I thought it would be. Not only that, but Kate Roses is invaluable for varieties that are not available anywhere else! I can't wait for next spring to see this one bloom!!
The roses arrived all healthy and I love them. Can’t wait to see when they bloom
