  Masses of heavily perfumed, double blooms that are the richest red-purple and borne from July to September. This is a vigorous Rugosa rose with dense, light green leaves that is superb for the back of a shrub border. The rich flowers look superb when planted with cerise or pink flowering plants, and looks fabulous with Clematis 'Princess Diana' scrambling through it. More tolerant of shade than many other roses, it should still flower well with around 4 - 5 hours of direct sun every day.
  
  
• 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.
