Rose 'Elizabeth Harkness'
Rose 'Elizabeth Harkness' is a beautiful floribunda rose producing elegant white blooms delicately flushed with soft pink and carrying a delightful fragrance. The subtle colour variation gives each flower a refined, romantic appearance, creating a graceful display throughout the summer months.
Flowering freely in clusters, this charming variety provides a long season of colour and scent, making it an excellent addition to mixed borders, rose gardens and cottage-style planting schemes. The softly blushed blooms stand out beautifully against the healthy green foliage and are equally attractive when cut for indoor arrangements.

Getting the most from your new Rose
Where to plant
Choose an open, sunny position with free-draining soil. Avoid planting where roses have grown before or transfer fresh soil to the site. HT & Floribunda roses can be planted in mixed borders or alongside other roses.
Planting
Roses love organic matter, so mix well-rotten manure, leaf mould or compost into the soil. Water thoroughly before planting. Make a hole big enough not to disturb the root ball. Remove from the pot and ensure the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Back-fill soil mixed with a good fertilizer, then firm. Water thoroughly.
Aftercare
Water well until established. Mulching will keep the soil weed-free and moist. For best results feed your roses with fertilizer in spring and again in summer. Remove faded flowers to encourage speedy repeat flowering.
Simple Pruning
Prune your rose in March or before new growth by removing and dead or very thin branches and reducing the height by 1/3 to 2/3 of the previous growth.
