Rosa 'The Lady'

Hybrid tea rose with dark green foliage, flowering in flushes throughout the season. Mildly fragrant double flowers, 7-10 cm across. Soft yellow-cream flower colour, flushed with salmon pink.

Registration name: Rosa 'FRYjingo'. Bred by Gareth Fryer (UK, 1985) from a cross between Rosa 'Pink Parfait' and Rosa 'Redgold'. Named after Britain's oldest women's weekly magazine 'The Lady' (in publication since 1885).

Prefers a position in full sun and any well-draining soil with a generous amount of organic matter. Fertilise in early spring and again in early summer. Dead-head during the flowering season and prune in winter. Good disease resistance.

Stunning rose with classically shaped flowers in lovely pastel shades. Plant as a single specimen or in groups for flower display in beds and borders. Good for cutting.
