A classic old rose, Rosa 'Young Lycidas' bears large, cup-shaped flowers in magenta pink, with a lovely tea-rose fragrance.
Due to its bushy habit, Rosa 'Young Lycidas' is an ideal candidate for an informal rose bed, but it would be equally home in a mixed, herbaceous border.
For best results, grow in mixed, well-drained soil in full su to partial shade. Deadhead spent flowers and feed fortnightly with a potash-rich fertiliser.
