Description

An old French, long-stemmed climbing or shrub rose, in a bright sunny pink with many heads, which often come as a spray.

It is lightly scented and has a good vase life. It also flowers well into the autumn with masses of camellia-like blooms.

Plant this close to your seating area or house entrance, so that you can appreciate the deep, rich fragrance. It's ideal for a mixed border, or can be trained as a low climber.

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.
