  Large trusses of fully double, lightly fragrant, apricot-yellow to ivory flowers from July to September and dark green leaves. This sturdy, repeat-flowering shrub rose is perfect for a sunny mixed or shrub border. To fully appreciate the gorgeous, tea rose-scent chose a site close to an entrance or path with fertile, moist, well-drained soil.
  
  
• 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.
