one of the best roses for a north facing aspect

Fragrant fully double white to pale pink flowers from July to September and light green leaves. This reliable repeat-flowering old climbing rose is ideal for a north-facing site. A popular and hardy climber since Victorian times it's slender pliable stems are particularly suitable for training over a rose-arch fence or wall.
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 2.5cm (1in) below the soil.
