Patio Rose
Clusters of semi-double, pearly-pink flowers from July to September and glossy, mid-green leaves. This dwarf cluster-flowered bush rose is an ideal patio plant for an open, sunny site. An excellent gift to mark a pearl wedding anniversary, it's perfect for where space is limited.Position: full sunSoil: fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soilRate of growth: averageFlowering period: July to SeptemberFlower colour: pearly-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 soilGoes well with: Lamium maculatum 'Roseum', Pulmonaria officinalis 'Sissinghurst White', Chionodoxa luciliae Gigantea Group, Alchemilla mollis, Rosa 'Congratulations', Rosa 'Silver Jubilee'All 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. |
