  Throughout summer this well behaved rambler will repeatedly produce clusters of small, semi-double flowers that are yellow with a salmon-pink flush. These gradually fade to cream as they mature and have a good scent. The soft colouring of the flowers make them a very pretty addition to a cottage garden, where it looks great clambering over arches or doorways.
  
  
• Garden care: Before planting shorten thick roots to 25cm (10in) and reduce top-growth to an outward-facing bud 20-30cm (8-12in) 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.
  • Eventual Height: 3.5m
  • Eventual Spread: 1.5m
