Prune any damaged roots and dig a hole 30-45cm (12-18in) deep and 60cm (24in) wide. Roses like heavy compact soil, so be sure to heel them in well. To aid quick establishment, sprinkle mycorrhizal fungi (Rootgrow) into the base of the planting hole. |
| Care Tips | Water generously until established, and add fertiliser each spring. Prune lightly in late summer, once it has finished flowering. |

Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Angela beautiful rose, very vigorous, unusual colour |

Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Jane Arrived in good condition, but has struggled to thrive. Has had a few flowers which are now over ( July). Pruned lightly and fed. |

Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Gillian Great good service not flowered yet though. |

Reviewed 31st May 2019 by Tessa I am waiting for the first buds to open. As it is only in its first year I am not expecting a mass of flowers: some of the new growth is 'blind'. I saw this rose in another garden centre last Summer and thought I must have it! I know it will only get better. |
