Rose (Bush) Golden Wedding

Mark a special 50th anniversary with Rose ‘Golden Wedding’. This vigorous floribunda rose produces a sunny display of golden blooms borne in clusters, and repeat flowering throughout summer. The dark foliage is glossy and disease resistant contrasting nicely with its gently scented flowers. This compact, upright variety boasts excellent vigour and makes a bright addition to rose beds and borders, coping surprisingly well on poorer soils. Height and spread: 100cm (39″).

These plants are lifted from the nursery field when dormant, and sent to you in late autumn or spring for planting. They often look dead on arrival, but they are just resting in the dormant period and will establish quickly for a strong start in the garden come spring. Set out in prepared soil in holes wide enough and deep enough to lay out the roots. Tread down the planting soil to knock out air pockets. Water well to settle. Apply a mulch to protect roots from cold temperatures. If conditions prevent immediate planting, set roughly into loose soil or a pot of compost (‘heeling in’) to protect the roots. Set these at the same level as they were in the nursery field – you should see a soil line at the base of the stem. Stake trees, taller shrubs and roses to prevent root disturbance.
