Clusters of double creamy flowers from July to September and glossy mid-green leaves. This dwarf cluster-flowered bush rose makes a lovely long-flowering patio plant for an open sunny site. An excellent birthday gift, its compact size is particularly suitable where space is limited.

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.
