  Fragrant, fully double, pink-flushed, primrose-yellow flowers from July to September and glossy, dark green leaves. This popular, large-flowered bush rose is perfect towards the back of a sunny border with fertile, moist, well-drained soil. The enormous blooms remain beautiful until they're fully blown and make excellent cut-flowers.
  
  
• 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.
