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.
Macmillan Nurse is a superb creamy white rose, with very double rosette type blooms, that flower from June to November (though earlier flower buds sometimes appear a peachy colour). It has lovely glossy dark grey-green foliage and makes a handsome addition to any garden.
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.
