A wonderful fragrance, coupled with vibrant dark pink and beautifully formed hybrid tea roses, makes the ‘Special Anniversary’ hybrid tea shrub rose from Whartons Roses an excellent living gift, that can be enjoyed year after year.
Highlighting the beauty of the roses, this shrub rose also has glossy dark green foliage that accentuates the magnificent shape and form of the roses. Its neat and compact shape makes it a low-maintenance and versatile choice to admire in a variety of positions around the garden. We love to admire it in a mixed bed alongside other pink blooms, but it also looks wonderful grown with other colourful roses. Or make the most of its long flowering period, and use it as a wonderful scented hedge, adding structure to garden designs. With fragrant, pristinely beautiful pink blooms, it also makes a magnificent cut flower for your floral arrangements around the home.
In addition to its host of ornamental features, this rose is known for its excellent disease and pest resistance. This has been recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society, who have given it their prestigious Award of Garden Merit for its reliable and consistently healthy growth. So you have peace of mind that this rose will be enjoyed for many years.
To get the best blooms from the ‘Special Anniversary’ 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.
