Elegant, semi-double, deep red blooms with a velvety sheen on the outer petals emerge from dark, purple-black buds from July to September. This is a well-branched, wide-spreading bush rose with handsome, finely-toothed, coppery-bronze young foliage that gradually matures to posses a large, glossy dark green appearance. Perfect for planting near an entrance or path, the majestic, shapely blooms carry a strong, sweet fragrance which is carried in the breeze

Position: Full sun
Soil: A moist, yet well-drained, fertile and humus-rich soil
Rate of Growth: Fast
Flowering Period: July to September
Flower Colour: Rich turkey-red
Other Features: The blooms make excellent cut flowers
Hardiness: Fully hardy
Garden Care: Before planting, top-growth should be reduced to an outward facing bud approximately 15-20cm from the main stem and thick roots should be shortened to 25cm. It should be planted during a frost-free period and lots of well-rotted, organic matter should be incorporated into the planting hole. I Would recommend feeding with a balanced liquid fertiliser once a year in spring
