Rosa 'Emily Brontë'
Rosa 'Emily Brontë' is an exceptionally beautiful English shrub rose, producing distinctive, neatly formed flat blooms in soft pink shades that gently blend into warm apricot and fade to cream. The delicate petals surround deep-set stamens, creating a refined and elegant appearance.
The blooms are complemented by a strong fragrance that begins with fresh Tea notes before developing into a classic Old Rose scent, with hints of lemon and grapefruit. Forming a bushy, upright shrub with excellent health, it flowers repeatedly from early summer into autumn.
Bred by David Austin and introduced in 2018, this rose was named in honour of the Brontë Society to celebrate the bicentenary of Emily Brontë, author of the iconic novel Wuthering Heights.

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. Patio roses can be planted in mixed borders or alongside other roses, or in pots and containers.
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 any dead or very thin branches and reducing the height by 1/3 to 2/3 of the previous growth.
