About this plant
Rosa 'At Last' is a shrub rose with clusters of fully double apricot-orange blooms that fade gently to peach and pale pink. The richly petaled flowers emerge in flushes from late spring through fall and carry a classic tea-rose fragrance that enhances garden beds and cut arrangements. Glossy dark-green foliage remains clean and disease-resistant throughout the season, supporting showy blooms on sturdy stems without the need for deadheading.
Bred in the United Kingdom by Heather Horner and introduced in 2018, Rosa 'At Last' earned acclaim for combining strong disease resistance with enduring bloom performance. Its vigorous, rounded form and reliable reblooming habit make it a popular choice for low-maintenance gardens, containers, or landscape focal points, delivering long-lasting beauty with minimal care.
Planting & care
Roses reward a sunny, open site with at least six hours of direct light, good air movement, and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water deeply and less often, soaking the root zone while keeping the leaves dry, and mulch with two to three inches of compost or shredded bark held back from the canes. Feed repeat-blooming roses in early spring as growth starts and again after the first flush, then prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing canes and open the center. Shrub roses need only light thinning, keeping their natural full shape and repeat bloom.
Where to see it
This plant can be seen at the Portland International Rose Test Garden.
