About this plant

Camellia-like pink blooms with a sweet, spicy scent

  • Description

    Rosa 'English Miss' is a compact, bushy floribunda rose bearing large clusters of pale pink, camellia-like double blooms with a strong, sweet fragrance carrying a hint of spice. The petals are edged a slightly deeper pink and fade towards near-white as they open to reveal golden stamens, all set against dark green foliage that starts out reddish. Free-flowering and disease-resistant, it repeat-flowers from early summer into autumn, and its neat habit suits beds, borders and containers, as well as the vase.

  • Why we like it

    “

    'English Miss' is a much-loved British floribunda that combines pretty, old-fashioned looks with real garden reliability. The soft pink, camellia-shaped blooms come in generous clusters and carry one of the sweeter, spicier scents among cluster roses, while the compact, healthy habit keeps it tidy and free-flowering from summer into autumn. Lovely in a mixed border, a cottage scheme or a large pot, and a delight for cutting.

Planting & care

Help it thrive

Planting guide

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position for best flowering. Water thoroughly after planting and keep newly planted roses well watered during dry periods. Feed in spring and again in midsummer to encourage healthy growth and repeat blooms.

Care tips

Deadhead spent flowers regularly to prolong blooming. Feed with a balanced rose fertiliser during the growing season and monitor for aphids or black spot in humid weather.

Winter care

Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and remove damaged stems. Apply a mulch of compost or well-rotted manure around the base to protect roots and improve soil condition.
