Product Description
There really is something special and iconic about English shrub roses, which is the term for the old-fashioned type of classic rose with a centre filled with ruffled petals making the most remarkable patterns.
New breeding over many years has made the modern varieties much easier to grow in all gardens - big or small - either in larger pots or in borders and beds. This gorgeous soft-yellow variety has been bred to have both a good fragrance and superb disease resistance - not always possible with roses, but our growers have managed it!
Best of all, it is a repeat flowerer, and will bloom for 4-5 months with little deadheading, although you may wish to keep them tidy. It is a little more vigorous and less formal than Hybrid tea roses, so mix them in with other shrubs in borders too.
Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot, ready for planting straight out.

Top Tips
When pruning, make sure that your secateurs are clean and sharp to prevent squashing stems and introducing disease.
Care Guide
- Roses can be planted at any time of the year, as long as the soil is not frozen, waterlogged or drought-dry.
- Plant your rose where it will get plenty of sun for at least half of the day, and where it will be sheltered from the wind.
- Roses tolerate a wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humous-rich, moist but well-drained soil, so add plenty of well-rotted manure into the hole if necessary and plant so that the graft union (the swollen area when the stems meet the roots) is around 3cm below soil level.
- Water well every other day – daily if the weather is hot and dry. Established roses can be watered around once a week through spring and summer – more if the weather is hot.
- For best results, feed roses in late-March/April and again late July.
- To prune, just remove any dead, dying, damaged and diseased stems and also deadhead regularly. Traditionally, you would cut just above a leaf joint with a sloping cut away from the bud, but this isn't necessary, and don’t worry about pruning too much – roses are very resilient and will grow back.
