Rose L.D. Braithwaite (shrub)
Rose L.D. Braithwaite (shrub) £17.99
Position: full sunSoil: fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soilRate of growth: averageFlowering period: July to SeptemberFlower colour: bright crimsonOther features: excellent cut-flowersHardiness: fully hardyLarge, fully double, fragrant, bright crimson flowers, from July to September and greyish-green leaves. This repeat-flowering, shrub rose is the brightest crimson English rose currently available. To fully appreciate the charming old-fashioned rose fragrance which develops as the flowers age plant in a sunny border close to an entrance or path.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.All our roses are field grown. In October/November they are dug up and potted. However, they will not produce any new roots until spring, so don’t be surprised if the compost falls away from the roots when winter planting. Some suppliers send out ‘bare root’ plants unpotted, but we don’t as it is easier to manage them on the nursery in pots.
