This pretty rose produces sweetly scented, rich pink flowers through the summer. It is small enough to be grown in a container, making it perfect for patios or terraces. As a floribunda rose, it should be pruned from late winter to early spring. Cut back the main stems to 25-45cm (10-18in) above the ground; pruning to just above an outward-facing bud. Reduce sideshoots to two or three buds. Remove any spindly or diseased growth. After pruning, apply a rose fertiliser and mulch around the plant.
