    This rose favours a sunny or lightly sheltered spot where its delicate blooms can be fully appreciated, making it splendid for front-of-border planting, patio containers, or near a sunny seating area.

Planting guide

Select a sunny or lightly sheltered spot with well-drained, fertile soil. Enrich the planting hole with organic compost or aged manure, position the rose slightly deeper than its pot, and water thoroughly. Keep soil evenly moist through the first season and apply rose fertiliser in spring and after the first flower flush.

Care tips

Feed with a balanced rose fertiliser in early spring and again after the initial bloom to encourage repeat flowers. Remove finished blooms to foster continued flowering and water at the base to protect foliage. Watch for pests such as aphids and treat promptly, and mulch annually to support moisture retention and weed suppression.

Winter care

Prune lightly in autumn to shape and remove weak or dead stems. Apply a generous layer of mulch around the base for insulation and use fleece wraps or rose collars in colder regions to protect against frost.
