More about Modern Shrub roses:
Modern Shrubs are a large assortment of mostly more modern hybrids of very mixed ancestry. All highly useful in their own individual ways. For the most part they were developed in the 20th century and do not fall into other groupings.
Bonica comes highly recommended. Prized for health and freedom of flowering, it was the recent recipient of a Gold Standard award. Its clusters of cupped blooms of clear rose pink with a light scent are continuous flowering, making this the perfect rose for a good low hedge.
Pruning Guide: Prune in February/ March. Prune very lightly in the first year, reducing stems by no more than a third. In subsequent years, growths can be reduced by up to a half to leave a beautifully shapely plant.
