Ambridge is a large-flowered shrub rose bred by David Austin in the United Kingdom and is regarded as one of his notable early introductions. The plant typically grows to a height of 80–100 cm with a spread of 60–90 cm. Its blooms can reach up to 10 cm in diameter. Ambridge is highly floriferous and repeat-flowering throughout the season. It shows strong resistance to powdery mildew, though it is more susceptible to black spot and has moderate cold hardiness.

Also known as An Peiji or An Buji, Ambridge bears some resemblance to Queen of Sweden. Its flowers are apricot or apricot blended with pink, with a high petal count. The outer petals are often soft pink or creamy white, while the center remains a warm apricot tone. The plant produces abundant blooms and performs especially well in hot summers, thanks to its good tolerance of heat and partial shade.
As the flowers mature, their color gradually deepens at first, then fades to pink and finally to pale white, after which the blooms drop cleanly, giving the plant excellent self-cleaning ability.
Ambridge is a medium-sized shrub rose with a broad spread and vigorous growth. It is generally healthy and well suited for mass planting or as a specimen plant in garden landscapes, as well as for container cultivation. When grown in pots, regular pruning is recommended to maintain an attractive plant shape.
