  Large clusters of fragrant, double, pink-tinted, coppery-apricot flowers from June to September and dark-green leaves. This vigorous, repeat-flowering, shrub rose makes an excellent specimen plant or informal, flowering hedge for a fertile, moist but well-drained site. The fragrant blooms, renowned for their resistance to rain, make excellent cut-flowers. More tolerant of partial 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 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.
