The Generous Gardener® English Rose

Brand: David Austin® Roses

Color: Pink Shades

Features:

• Double soft pink blooms with striking yellow stamens
• Excellent as a climber
• Attractive deep green, glossy foliage
• Disease resistant
• Delicately scented

Details: A rose of delicate charm - its flowers being beautifully formed; their color a soft glowing pink at the center, shading to palest pink on the outer petals. When the petals open they expose numerous stamens, providing an almost water lily-like effect. It has strong, elegantly arching growth with polished dark green foliage. This rose would produce a wonderful effect towards the back of the border. It will also make an excellent climber and is highly disease-resistant.

Growing Tips: Plant in full sun to part shade; provide one inch of water a week either from natural rainfall or drip irrigation, keep foliage dry during watering. Pruning should be done while the shrub is dormant during the winter or early spring. Rove any leggy or whippy growth from the main structural canes. Cut back old growth to the first tree buds on a central structural cane.
