Clay / Heavy / Moist / Well Drained / Light / Sandy
Rosa 'Cornelia' is a repeat-flowering hybrid musk rose, bearing deep red buds which open to coppery pink, semi-double flowers with a large yellow centre. Flowers have a sweet, strong fragrance. It's the perfect choice for growing in a mixed sunny border, and also makes a fine hedge.
Rosa 'Cornelia' is more tolerant of shade than other roses. For best results grow in moisture retentive soil with plenty of added organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure. Mulch with more organic matter each autumn and remove fallen leaves to prevent the spread of diseases.
