Roses

This is the most widely grown of the hubrid musks.  The flowers are variable in their colour: apricot-yellow, soft orange, honey and above all a rich buff.  Its colour is deeper in shade or in cooler weather (especially in autumn), and tends to fade to cream in hot, sunny weather.  The flowers are fully double and held in loose clusters that cut well; they also tend to be larger in autumn.  The plant has a lax habit of growth, and is often trained up as a climber in hot areas.  In cool climates, it eventually turns into a broad shrub with long, arching, flexible stems.

One of the best floribunda roses bearing large clusters of slightly double flowers of the purest white, sometimes tinged with pink in late summer, flowering continuously often into the winter. All the roses we sell are field-grown and lifted when conditions are at their optimum to ensure strong, quality plants and are potted-up as soon as they are received into the nursery. This ensures that the roots do not dry out and gives the plant the best start. Therefore, do not be surprised if the soil falls away from the root when planting, particularly during the winter and early spring months. We use a high quality commercial compost mix when potting our roses and recommend you incorporate this into the planting hole when planting out in the garden.
