Rosa ‘Happy Days’ is a fantastic, repeat-flowering patio rose with semi-double blooms. It bears musk-scented, apricot-peach flowers throughout summer. It’s a great choice for a sunny patio, but is equally suited to growing at the front of an ornamental border.
Grow Rosa ‘Happy Days’ in moist but well-drained, soil-based compost in full sun. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering but leave some for hips to develop to provide winter interest and food for birds. Hard prune in spring, to prevent plants from becoming leggy.
