Description

Enjoy the scent and character of an old-fashioned rose in a smart standard form with this Patio Standard Rose 'Natasha Richardson'.

Soft pink blooms open with a rich, memorable fragrance, bringing classic rose charm to places where scent can be enjoyed up close. This variety combines that romantic flower style with modern garden performance, including strong disease resistance, repeat flowering and dense green foliage that helps the blooms stand out beautifully.

Grow in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil or quality container compost. It looks superb with lavender, nepeta, hardy geraniums, salvias and silver-leaved plants, while a large decorative pot can turn it into a stylish patio centrepiece. Water well during dry weather, feed through the growing season and deadhead spent flowers to help promote further blooms.

Supplied as an established patio standard rose in a 7.5 litre pot, already 120cm tall, ready to plant.

Top Tips

When pruning, make sure that your secateurs are clean and sharp to prevent squashing stems and introducing disease.

Add mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help the plant establish quicker.

Trim old flower stems to shape early each spring, just before new growth starts.

Care Information

Pick the right container for your rose - half barrels are a great choice, but any large pot with good drainage holes is perfect.
Roses love sunshine and should receive sun for at least half the day, so position the pot with this in mind, remembering to position it before filling with compost as it may be too heavy to move once planted up.
Use a loam-based compost, with 20% multi-purpose compost added. Make sure that the mix does not include any type of granular or time release fertilizer as this may burn the roots.
Feed twice for more blooms. Late-March/April and again late July.
Prune lightly to deadhead, shape, and control disease.
Transplant into a larger container if you notice a decrease in blooms, and every 2 � 3 years to refresh the soil.
It is important that container-grown plants do not dry out � water regularly.
