The rose variety Hilda Murrell (syn. 'AUSmurr') is a dark pink, frequently flowering shrub rose that was bred by David CH Austin and launched in Great Britain in 1984 . The rose was bred from a cross of an unnamed seedling with the dark pink climbing rose 'Parade' and the light pink shrub rose 'Chaucer' ('AUScer'). The rose variety 'Hilda Murell' belongs to the 'The Squire' subgroup of English roses .
The rose is named after the British rose breeder Hilda Murrell , who did her best in breeding old roses from 1935 to 1970 .
education
The bushy, upright, strongly branched rose 'Hilda Murrell' forms a compact, robust shrub with long shoots. The rose plant is about 120 cm to 135 cm high and about 90 cm wide.
The individual, sometimes tuft-like, bright pink colored flowers made up of around 40 curved petals form a large bowl-shaped to rosette-shaped flower. The rose is characterized by a long-lasting, strong scent of myrrh and old roses . The loosely double flowers are 8 to 10 cm in size and, when fully formed, form a flat, double flower. The rose has medium-sized, coarsely grained, medium to dark green, robust leaves. The dull to leathery foliage appears on long shoots , which are covered with numerous greenish to reddish-brown spines .
The summer blooming rose is hardy ( USDA climate zone 6b to 9b). It blooms profusely in early summer and less often later in the season and is moderately resistant to the well-known rose diseases .
The rose is suitable for planting low flower borders, mixed borders and cottage gardens . The rose 'Hilda Murrell' is also used as a cut flower in lush, natural flower arrangements in floristry .
The rose variety is shown in numerous rosariums and gardens around the world, including the David Austin Rose Garden in Albrighton, the Rosarium Petrović , the Carla Fineschi Foundation Rose Garden in Tuscany and the Europa-Rosarium in Sangerhausen .
Naming
Hilda Murrell was (1906-1984), a renowned international, British rose breeder , naturalist , writer and anti-nuclear - activist . Hilda Murrell was kidnapped in March 1984 and found murdered a short time later. The background to the crime has never been fully clarified and has given rise to numerous speculations and conspiracy theories in the past. Three weeks before her death, she gave David Austin permission to name a rose after her.
