The Main Rose Garden
Large, open, bronze-yellow, semi-double flowers with golden stamens. A vigorous, up to 3m, prickly plant with plentiful disease-free, glossy foliage. One good crop and a few later blooms. May be grown as a shrub. Exceptionally tough and hardy - suitable for poor conditions.
Grow in fertile, moist but well-drained soil that does not dry out, in full sun or partial shade. Climbers may repeat bloom. Climbing roses are not self-clinging and need supports of trellis or horizontal wires to which the shoots can be tied. Prune early to remove winter damage and dead wood. Prune after flowering (late autumn/winter) to shape and keep their size in check. If the plant is heavily congested, cut out any really old branches from the base to promote new growth. They will benefit from a mulch at this time. Regularly dead head.
