This rose is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.

I wanted an attractive rose without thorns, and was happy with this one, which survived even the unusually cold winter and then very hot and dry summer in its first year after planting. At the moment, it looks happy and healthy.

Hi there Roses do like sun I'm afraid, and although there are some varieties that will tolerate light shade they flower best in sun. I have attached a link to the Roses that will grow in partial shade but these are either climbing or rambling roses. http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/roses/plcid.8/vid.167/vid.186/ You might be better using plants that prefer a shady aspect by using our plant search facility - which is at the top of each page. There you can select shrubs, perennials, climbers etc by clicking on the images or text. This will take you to a more in depth search facility where you can select the aspect, type of soil, flower colour, main season of interest, etc. From this you will see our full range of plants that fit this criteria. I hope this helps.

Hello Trudi, All roses need similar growing conditions, although a couple are slightly more tolerant of shade than others. If you click on the following link it will take you to all our roses that show some resistance to diseases. http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/roses/plcid.8/vid.243/ I hope this helps.

Hybrid Musks mingle well with English honeysuckle and they are amongst the most fragrant and healthy. They perform from July onwards, after the main flush of most roses, so they are useful to the gardener. Hybrid Musks are still in the top drawer, despite

Roses get away extremely well when planted in their dormant season, between November and early March. Although they will be delivered potted up (to help keep the roots moist), the compost will fall away from the roots as you remove the rose from the pot a

Mature roses are generally pruned in early February, after the worst of the winter is over, using good secateurs like Felco no 2's or 6's. Pruning, just like planting, must only be done in good weather. Generally floribundas are cut back to 45cm.

Tidy up any fallen rose leaves now, especially if they look spotty because this is almost certainly a result of a fungal disease called black spot (Diplocarpon rosae). This debilitating disease leads to poor flowering and defoliation, but not all roses ar
