Rose 'Queen of Sweden'®
Rose 'Queen of Sweden'® is a refined English shrub rose from David Austin, producing beautifully shaped buds that gradually open into elegant, upward-facing cup-shaped blooms. The flowers begin in soft apricot-pink before gently fading to delicate blush pink, creating a graceful and sophisticated display throughout the season.
Introduced in 2004, this exceptional variety flowers repeatedly from early summer into autumn, providing months of elegant colour. The blooms are complemented by a lovely medium myrrh fragrance, while their strong stems and perfectly poised form make them particularly well suited to cutting for indoor arrangements.
Forming a bushy yet upright shrub, 'Queen of Sweden'® is ideal for structured borders, formal rose gardens and mixed planting schemes where its naturally vertical habit creates excellent definition. Easy to grow and highly reliable, it thrives in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and delivers outstanding repeat flowering year after year.

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.
