Rosa 'Beatrix Potter' is an upright, bushy, deciduous shrub rose with thorny stems and glossy, toothed, dark green foliage. From late-spring to autumn it bears beautiful double soft-pink flowers with lots of petals and a good perfume.
Rosa 'Beatrix Potter' is a versatile rose. With a tidy, upright habit, it can be grown as a shrub but also trained to climb a little. It's well suited to growing in herbaceous borders as well as pots, and is more tolerant of poorer soils than many roses.
Mulch with well-rotted manure or compost once a year. Prune back in February and help prolong flowering in summer by deadheading regularly, and adding a high potash feed every fortnight.
