Overview
Apricot red buds opening to loosely petalled salmon pink flowers with a golden reverse to each petal and a lovely fragrance. A robust hardy rose which is very disease resistant. (David Austin 2009, Ausnyson)
English roses are renowned for the beauty of their repeat-flowering fragrant blooms as well as good vigour and disease resistance. They typically begin flowering from June onwards. They have many uses in the garden and make excellent informal hedges. Give them an open sunny position and any deep well-drained soil including clay. They need plenty of nutrients so add Bonemeal and garden compost or well-rotted manure when planting. Rootgrow (beneficial mycorrhizal beneficial fungi) sprinkled on the roots will aid root development. Use a rose fertiliser such as Toprose during the growing season.
Newly planted English roses need little initial pruning other than a light trim and the removal of any dead, diseased, rubbing and crossing stems. Once established they can be pruned in early March to approximately half their size, aiming to create a shapely rounded plant. Prune out any dead or weak stems. In addition they may be summer-pruned: after each flush of flowers has finished, cutting back the flowering stems to two or three sets of leaves.
