English Shrub Rose

Gertrude Jekyll® has twice been voted Britain's favorite rose. The very double cupped flowers, (80 petals) are a cheerful bright pink, fading to a lighter shade towards the edges of the petals. And their classic Old World scent is described as exceptional. Given it's  mature height of 5 to 6 feet, it can be a good fit for the back of the border, or a specimen.

Like all roses, the more sun you give it, the more flowers you'll get in return. Spraying against disease may be a good idea, especially if you can't give it full sun or it's crowded too close to other plants for good air circulation. In addition, most growers recommend fertilizing in spring and midsummer.
