  Masses of loosely cup-shaped, fragrant, double, deep pink flowers from June to September and mid-green leaves on thornless stems. This beautiful, repeat-flowering Bourbon rose is one of the best and most reliable climbing varieties. Excellent for covering a north-facing wall, it may also be pruned to form a tall, informal, flowering hedge.
  
  
• 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 2.5cm (1in) below the soil.

All our roses have been pruned hard back ready for next spring.
