Rosa 'Salvation' also goes by the name 'Harlark'. It's a compact, repeat-flowering floribunda rose, with an incredibly strong perfume. The branches are thorny, and the apricot flowers appear in clusters throughout summer.
It's ideal for growing in conjunction with blue and yellow flowers in herbaceous borders, and may also be grown in a pot.
Rosa 'Salvation' 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.
