Description

A lovely, more glamorous form of a wild rose, with single flowers and beautiful anthers in peachy pink. We’ve planted lots of this in our soft-coloured Farmhouse Garden. This is good for training on frames or hoops.

All rose petals are edible. As you might expect, they have a mild, floral taste and can be used to decorate cakes, puddings or baking. They are also a beautiful, scented addition to jugs of iced cordial or summer cocktails.

Care Tips

Before planting bare root roses, soak roots in a bucket of water for at least 2 hours. Dig a hole that will accommodate the root ball comfortably and, to aid establishment, sprinkle mycorrhizal fungi (Rootgrow) into the base before planting.
