Rose 'Southampton'
Availability: Out of stock
Beautiful floribunda rose 'Southampton' is renowned for its vivid golden-yellow blooms and delightful scent. From late spring through autumn, this variety's clusters of semi-double flowers provide a constant show of colour and charm. A striking option for borders, containers, and mixed beds, 'Southampton's' glossy, dark green foliage offers a pleasing contrast.
Â
For the best blooms, plant in a sunny spot in well-drained, fertile soil. Water often, particularly in dry spells, and fertilise roses in the spring and midsummer with a balanced fertiliser. Pruning in late winter or early spring promotes robust growth and profusion of flowers. Combine with other sun-loving perennials, such as salvia and lavender, to create a fragrant and colourful garden arrangement.

Supplied in approx 5 litre containers.
Roses, if purchased during the Winter will often be freshly potted, with the compost falling away from the roots when you come to plant. This is quite normal, as Roses will be dormant during the coldest months of the year and do not produce new roots until the warm weather of Spring. If you wish, you may keep potted Roses in the pots until the weather is warmer before you plant out, they should be kept outdoors and kept watered during this time, we do however recommend getting them planted out as soon as possible after receipt. We cut back and prune all of our Roses in line with good horticultural practice, so there will be no pruning for you to worry about after planting or during the first season, apart perhaps other than snipping off any tips that may die back before Spring. Annual pruning can commence during late winter, the year after planting.
