Shrub Roses

RRP £12.95, our price £8.95Clusters of huge, fully double, very fragrant, deep to light pink blooms in midsummer which stand out against the grey-green foliage. Perhaps one of the finest old-fashioned roses, this shrub rose is ideal for an open, sunny site. Though a vigorous grower it is also disease resistant.Position: full sun or partial shadeSoil: fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soilRate of growth: fast-growingFlowering period: JulyFlower colour: glowing pinkOther 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.Please note that due to the limited availability of this rose we need to take full payment when you place your order so as to reserve stock for you. The rose will then be despatched to you during October/November
