  Extravagant clusters of single, scented, creamy-white flowers in July and August, ageing to pale pink, and shiny, mid-green leaves. This extremely vigorous rambling rose is ideal for covering a large house or garden wall in sun or partial shade. Excellent for concealing an unsightly structure, it must, however, have adequate space to grow.
  
  
• 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 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.
