Rosa 'ANNE BOLEYN'

An exceptionally free-flowering variety with quite short, arching growth. The flowers are of nice rosette shape and of a soft, warm pink. They are produced in quite large sprays, with remarkable continuity. It has soft green, highly polished foliage. The whole impression of this rose is one of a pleasing freshness. There is a light fragrance. A lovely rose for the border or may be grown in a large pot or container.
Planting instructions: Prepare a hole of size 30x30 cm. Put your rose in the way that the grafting point is 3 cm deep in the soil. Water well and cover new shoots with soil or bark mulch about 15 cm high. Roses tolerate wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, in full sun.

Pruning: English roses don’t need hard pruning like tea hybrids. Just cut last year’s growth by one third to maximum one half in the spring (after frosts) to achieve desired shape, and strong and reliable framework. Cutting it back to 3-5 live buds is possible for re-juvenating. To support extra flowering during the season remove twigs past blossom: cut them off the first leaf with 5 bracts. Mulch well before winter, preferably with leaf-mould.
