The Story
David Austin Rose ‘Tottering-by-Gently’ is a delightful shrub rose celebrated for its simple, single-petalled, butter-yellow blooms carried in generous, open clusters. Flowering continuously from early summer to autumn, it has a light, airy presence that brings movement and cheerfulness to borders and cottage-style plantings. The lightly scented flowers are followed by attractive orange-red hips in autumn, adding extended seasonal interest. Its relaxed, natural habit makes it ideal for informal gardens.
