With compact growth and a neat shape, this shrub rose is a beautiful addition to a pot or container or will grow happily in a sunny garden border. To ensure you get the best floral display, when planting your rose, we recommend adding a sprinkling of mycorrhizal fungi to establish strong root growth. Throughout the flowering season, regularly dead head any spent blooms to encourage new bud growth.
