Add a range of pastel shades to your garden with the delightful ‘Loyal Companion’ shrub rose from Whartons Roses. Perfectly showcasing the breadth of colour that can be achieved with a single rose, the semi-double blooms emerge from apricot buds and open with pink petals. These then transform into bright pink shades before they fade to almost white as the flowers mature.
The wonderful mix of colours and vibrancy of the flowers is accentuated by its mid-green glossy foliage and its sunny yellow stamen, to create a mesmerising display. In addition to its beautiful blooms and foliage, this rose is a great choice for attracting wildlife into your garden, as it is loved by bees and other pollinators.
The ‘Loyal Companion’ shrub rose has a compact shape that works well used in a variety of places around the garden. From large pots and containers to enhance patio areas or balconies or added to mixed borders, this rose will not disappoint. We love this rose positioned near to an entrance so you can admire the scent-filled blooms each day.
To get the best from the ‘Loyal Companion’ shrub rose, simply plant it with some soil improver or well-rotted manure and add a sprinkling of Mycorrhizal Fungi to encourage strong root growth. Position your rose in a bright and sunny spot, in moist but well-drained soil. You will then enjoy many years of magnificent floral displays.
