Product Description
These large-flowering pink flowers are a beautiful variety of Hybrid Tea Rose. The candyfloss pink petals stand atop a sturdy stem with glossy green leaves that make the vibrant colour of the blossom stand out. These wonderful flowers are delightfully scented and so we recommend planting in areas of the garden where this can be enjoyed such as patio containers or the front of garden borders. The Roses will reach a mature height of one metre, flower from June to September and will flourish when planted in sunny locations in rich, fertile soil. They can also be cut and used to create eye-catching bouquets to be enjoyed indoors. Field grown, loose rooted shrub (2-3 year old) are 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. 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. Our HT roses are supplied roughly pruned. To keep them healthy, prune stems at a 45 angle, taking off any dead wood or growth.
