Product Description
Arthur Bell is a beautiful Floribunda Rose variety that produces large golden yellow flowers that fade to a cream as the flower matures. The flowers sit against dark green deciduous bushy foliage, reach a mature height of one metre and flower from June to September. Sweetly scented, we recommend planting in areas of the garden where this can be enjoyed such as the front of the garden borders or patio containers. They will thrive when planted in sunny locations within rich, fertile soil. These stunning flowers will also make a wonderful bouquet to be enjoyed within the home or as a gift and can be combined with contrasting Floribunda Roses to create more of a showpiece. Two-year-old loose rooted shrubs 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.
