Rosa ‘The One and Only’ is a French-bred hybrid tea rose with an upright, strong growth habit and good resistance to disease. It bears velvety crimson fully double flowers reminiscent of old fashioned roses, with an incredible spicy, fruity fragrance.
It's ideal for growing in the herbaceous border, but also in containers. In common with many roses, Rosa ‘The One and Only’ grows well in a variety of soil types but does better if mulched with well-rotted manure or compost. Hard prune in February and help prolong flowering by deadheading regularly, and adding a high potash feed every fortnight in summer.
