Rose 'The Lady Gardener'®
Rose 'The Lady Gardener'® is a magnificent English shrub rose producing large, deeply quartered rosettes packed with loosely arranged petals. The blooms are a beautiful pure apricot shade, softening gently towards the edges to create a warm and elegant display throughout the flowering season.
Each flower can reach up to 10cm across and is accompanied by a delightful Tea fragrance enriched with notes of cedar wood and vanilla. The combination of exquisite flower form, subtle colouring and refined perfume makes this one of the most graceful apricot roses in the David Austin collection.
Introduced by David Austin in 2013, this repeat-flowering variety forms a healthy, rounded shrub that is ideal for mixed borders, rose hedges and patio containers. It flowers generously from early summer into autumn, bringing colour, fragrance and classic English rose charm to the garden.

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.
