Product Information
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.

Plant Care Information
Top Tips
- When pruning, make sure that your secateurs are clean and sharp to prevent squashing stems and introducing disease.
- Add mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help the plant establish more quickly.
Care Information
- 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 dont worry about pruning too much roses are very resilient and will grow back.
