Peter Beales Roses: Oxford Physic Rose
Description
Bred by Peter Beales to celebrate the Oxford Botanic Garden’s 400th anniversary in 2001, the exquisite ‘Oxford Physic Rose’ fits beautifully within our Peter Beales ‘Modern Classic’ collection, holding all the charm and characteristics that gardeners over the years have come to love from an old-fashioned shrub rose, but at the same time it carries all the health and robustness of a modern day rose. The silky, shell pink blooms are open cup in shape and lend themselves perfectly to pollinating insects, such as bees and butterflies. The scent is particularly reminiscent of a classic rose; gently sweet, mild and lasting. Growing to approximately 120cm (4ft) in height, the rose alone will make the perfect specimen plant within your garden or equally the rose is outstanding placed in the middle of a border surrounded by herbaceous plants, such as Campanulas, Salvias, Lavenders, Asters and Hardy Geraniums. Being so versatile, if you planted the rose next to a wall or fence the young stems can also be trained to form a small climber. RRP: Bare root £21.00 / potted £29.00
