The ‘Queen Bee’ shrub rose from Whartons Roses produces clusters of sweetly scented, apricot-coloured semi-double blooms, with a delightful frilly edge.
The soft peach and apricot tones add warmth and vibrancy to garden displays and are perfect for mixed beds and borders, adding a burst of colour and interest to garden displays. In addition to the wonderful blooms, this shrub rose also has beautiful glossy green foliage that accentuates and frames the wonderful blooms.
Growing with a compact habit, this rose is also perfect for enhancing city and courtyard gardens, or for growing in a large container to add colour and interest to balcony or patio areas. This versatile rose will repeat flower throughout the summer, lasting into autumn and will attract bees and other pollinators into your garden.
To get the best blooms from the ‘Queen Bee’ shrub rose, plant it with some soil improver or well-rotted manure and then add a sprinkling of Mycorrhizal Fungi to encourage strong root growth. Position your rose in a sunny spot, in moist but well-drained soil. You will then enjoy many years of magnificent floral displays.
