Rose

This is a big shrub of a slightly arching rose with vigorous, bushy growth that can easily be adapted as a climber when grown at the base of a wall. The flowers are unusual, being soft yellow with pastel pink stripes, and the blooms appear in clusters all summer long. Ten per cent of the sales proceeds go to the Motor Neurone Disease Association for the first three years. Prune by from one- to two-thirds in February, and any dead, diseased, or feeble growth.
