Rachel is a bloom with many frilly petals in the centre and a lovely two tone colour. The majority of the flower is a peach colour with a pink shade on the outer petals. The flowers are fragrant and although they do not last long, the rose will flower abundantly all summer. It is perfect for beginner gardeners as it very easy to grow. As it is a shrubby rose it will work well at the back of a border

Planting Instructions:
Grow in full sun with fertile, composted moist but well-drained soil. For best flowering apply a balanced fertiliser and mulch in late autumn or early spring. A hole should be about 12-15" deep and mix a handful of rose fertiliser with the soil removed from the hole. Place your rose in the hole with branches just above the soil line and back fill with the soil you removed. Pack the soil well around the roots and tap down with your foot, stepping carefully. This planting method ensures that the main roots have direct access to soil so small feeder roots can develop quickly. For containers you will need good compost and well-drained soil.
Aftercare:
For better blooms fertilise regularly from Spring through to autumn, using a specialised rose fertiliser. Add a 3-4” layer of mulch in the spring when removing winter protection.
