Product Description
Wendy Cussons' is a delightful and exquisite Hybrid Tea Rose variety. The brilliant vivid blossoms are slightly frilled at the petal edges adding character and charm to this wonderful flower and standing atop a sturdy stem, with deciduous green foliage below. This wonderful Rose is sweetly scented and so we recommend planting in areas of the garden where this can really be enjoyed such as the garden border, patio containers or cut and display within the home in a vase. Flowering from June through to September, they will reach a mature height of one metre. Top-quality two-year-old bare rooted plants are supplied, ready to be planted on arrival. 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.
