AUSwine – Chianti
$27.95
English Shrub (David Austin, United Kingdom, 1965)
One of the first roses bred by David Austin, Chianti features large cupped mauve roses on a sprawling shrub. This rose reflects much of its gallica breeding heritage in both shape and an intense old rose fragrance. Can be trained as a small climber.

Beautiful old rose. Chianti is big and bold. The bush was covered in blooms and made such a statement. Don’t shy away from this once bloomer. It makes up quantity with its high quality!

Introduced by David Austin in 1967, ‘Chianti’ is NOT an old rose at all, but a modern reproduction shrub in the old style.
One of my favourites, and a gem for me in my Z5b/Sunset 41 Great Lakes garden.
Large, delightfully fragrant, gorgeous crimson and purple shades.
Very nice display of hips.
Once blooming is not a detractor; this is a large, landscape SHRUB. Anyone has or adores things like forsythia and lilac really ought to have more once blooming roses.
More disease resistant than any usual hybrid tea. Virtually no mildew, light black spot. No rust. Your mileage may vary. Location and environment are very important variables.
Hardier and healthier than ‘Westerland’ to compare a variety I hear touted often, but never measures up.
My original came from David Austin Roses grafted on ‘Dr. Huey’. I am looking forward to having an own route version of this rose as it is very husky grafted.

I planted this in late summer/early fall 2024 in Columbus, OH (6B), and this is rose is probably who I looked forward to most of the roses I planted this past fall. I was awarded with 2 blooms this year, which unfortunately due to some rain lead to the second one losing petals. The sawfly seem to like this rose in my area, so I did do some spraying and defoliating due to this; otherwise, minimal blackspot or other health concerns which is not something every rose in the Midwest can tout. He has put on really nice growth this season and I will guess reward me with a much more substantial display in 2026 and for many years to come.
As another review states, I hope more people add more OGR style roses/once a season blooming roses as they tend to have a special romance about them and relatively unparalleled scent/disease resistance.

I let Chianti grow in my California Zone 9 back yard in full sun. The second year it was quite spread out and bloomed a lot, but I dug it up and got rid of it because it only blooms once a year and was not particularly fragrant. In my garden it was a dark red color.
