Product Description
In 2014 Rose Lady Marmalade was awarded the prestigious and well-deserved award of RHS Rose of the Year, and it isn't difficult to see why. This striking floribunda rose produces large, cabbage rose style blooms in vibrant pumpkin orange, fading to a delicate apricot flush with amber overtones as the plant matures. The dusky elegance of Lady Marmalades blooms creates a sophisticated air of classic, vintage charm, with the practical disease resistance of a modern rose. In fact, this fantastic variety can produce up to eleven flowers in each cluster, promising a truly impressive cottage style display from summer to early autThe sweetly spicy fragrance is an added bonus. Height 90cm. 2 year old bare rooted plants supplied. Please note: Fragrant rose's perfume is usually the most potent on warm, sunny days, while sat in moist soil. Its important to imitate these conditions, as it will release the fragrant chemicals within the flowers. High humidity increases the longevity of the fragrance as it reduces the chance of the chemicals evaporating.

Growing at a glance…
Roses should be planted firmly, to ensure that wind will not disrupt the roots. Apply a balanced fertiliser every 3-4 weeks in the spring/summer, and apply a mulch in the winter for protection. Can be pruned back to remove any dead wood or growth. It is best to plant roses in winter or early spring, provided there is little frost. To prepare your bare rose roots, soak them in a bucket of water for an hour to 24 hours (longer in spring). Then, dig a hole large enough to house the roots when fully outspread. Distribute the roots evenly around the hole and put in a little bit of fine soil to which has been added a small amount of bonemeal. Fill in with the rest of the soil over the roots and tread in firmly. The depth of planting roses will vary between 10-20cm, or as deep as they were in their pots.
