Rosa Wollerton Old Hall ('Ausblanket') (PBR)

rose Wollerton Old Hall (hybrid musk)

• Position: full sun
• Soil: fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil
• Rate of growth: fast-growing
• Flowering period: June and August
• Flower colour: soft yellow fading to cream
• Other features: excellent cut-flowers
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  Large buds with a brownish-red flush, open to rounded, soft yellow flowers, which fade to cream as they age. The powerfully scented blooms top bushy plants with few thorns, making this a wonderful addition to the garden, especially when planted near an entrance or path.
  
  
• 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.
