More about Bourbon roses:
A chance cross between Old Blush China and the Autumn Damask led to the first of the Bourbon Roses. This occurred in 1817 on the Ile de Bourbon an island in the Indian ocean. Later it was hybridised further with Gallica and Damask roses. Most varieties are blessed with a good fragrance, recurrent flowering and refined foliage.
Prince Charles has an abundance of flowers at Midsummer. Its blooms are tyrian purple, with deeper crimson veining. It’s a vigorous yet lax variety, best grown as a climber or pegged down. Summer flowering.
Pruning Guide: Requires little pruning except for the removal of very old wood once established (after flowering) and perhaps the shortening of any growths by one third in February. If training as a climber, tie in any new long growths in a horizontal fashion during September.
