  Masses of fragrant, fully double, crimson-tinted, clear pink flowers with ruffled petals in June and July and large, dark green leaves. This early summer-flowering climbing rose has a delicious scent, reminiscent of sweet peas. Ideal for covering a sunny fence or wall, the charming, old-style blooms are followed by large, spherical, red rose-hips.
  
  
• Garden care: Before planting shorten thick roots to 25cm (10in) and reduce top-growth to an outward-facing bud 8-15cm (3-6in) above ground-level. Plant during a frost-free spell, incorporating well-rotted organic matter and a balanced fertiliser into the planting hole. Ensure that the 'bud union' (the bulge at the base of the shoots) is approximately 5cm (2in) below the soil.
  
  All our roses are field grown. In October/November they are dug up and potted. However, they will not produce any new roots until spring, so don't be surprised if the compost falls away from the roots when winter planting. Some suppliers send out 'bare root' plants unpotted, but we don't as it is easier to manage them on the nursery in pots.
