Patio roses are perfect for growing in containers on the patio, but work equally well in a border. In pots, they need to be grown in good-quality, soil-based compost, watered regularly and given a liquid feed once a week.

Rosa 'Queens London Child' is an upright, glossy-leaved rose with dark pink buds that open to enormous pink flowers, with a powerfully sweet fragrance.

Grow Rosa 'Queens London Child' 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.
