Hybrid Musk Rose

Large clusters of sweetly scented, double, apricot-yellow flushed light pink flowers from June to September and dark green leaves. This vigorous, shrub rose is renowned for its long flowering period and strong fragrance. One of the best Hybrid Musk roses, it makes an excellent specimen plant or informal, flowering hedge for an open, sunny site.Position: full sunSoil: fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soilRate of growth: fast-growingFlowering period: June to SeptemberFlower colour: apricot-yellow flushed, light pink flowersOther features: excellent cut-flowersHardiness: 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.
