Climbing Bourbon Rose

Masses of loosely cup-shaped, fragrant, double, deep pink flowers from June to September and mid-green leaves on thornless stems. This beautiful, repeat-flowering Bourbon rose is one of the best and most reliable climbing varieties. Excellent for covering a north-facing wall, it may also be pruned to form a tall, informal, flowering hedge.Position: full sunSoil: fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soilRate of growth: averageFlowering period: July to SeptemberFlower colour: deep pinkOther Features: thornless roseHardiness: fully hardyGarden care: Before planting shorten thick roots to 25cm (10in) and reduce top-growth to an outward-facing bud 8-15cm (3-6in) above ground-level. Plant during a frost-free spell, incorporating well-rotted organic matter and a balanced fertiliser into the planting hole. Ensure that the 'bud union' (the bulge at the base of the shoots) is 2.5cm (1in) below the soilAll our roses are field grown. In October/November they are dug up and potted. However, they will not produce any new roots until spring, so don't be surprised if the compost falls away from the roots when winter planting. Some suppliers send out 'bare root' plants unpotted, but we don't as it is easier to manage them on the nursery in pots.
