Hydrangea-like clusters of tiny, slightly scented white-centred light pink flowers from July to September and mid-green leaves. This charming shrub rose is one of the most reliable and free-flowering varieties currently available. Vigorous and hardy it's an excellent specimen plant for a mixed or shrub border in sun or partial shade.
- 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.
