*Rosa '*Mary Delany' is a tall shrub rose with unusually small, dark green leaves and very few thorns. Delicate, soft pink, cup-shaped double flowers are borne on slender dark stems. As each flower matures the petals open and it gradually exposes its yellow stamens. The gentle, fruity fragrance is reminiscent of old roses.
A versatile shrub rose, grow Rosa 'Mary Delany' as an upright shrub or short climber. It may also be grown in pots.
Mulch once a year with well-rotted manure or compost, and prune in February. To prolong flowering in summer, deadhead regularly and add a high potash feed every fortnight.
Was Rosa 'Mary Delany' previously named *Rosa '*Mortimer Sackler'?
Rosa 'Mary Delany' was previously called *Rosa '*Mortimer Sackler'. It has been renamed to remove its association with the Sackler family, who own Purdue Pharma, a pharmaceutical company which produces Oxycontin, an opiod. 50 states in the USA have filed lawsuits against them for their role in the opiod crisis.
Mary Delany was an English artist who was known for botanical drawings and creating botanically accurate paper flowers.
