More about Nostalgic roses:
Nostalgic roses are new collection of roses bred by Tantau. They have very full, fragrant blooms, reminiscent of old fashioned roses but with a more compact growth than many shrub roses of this type. Flowering over a very long period, with good resistance to disease, these roses are also excellent for cut blooms.
Duchess of Cornwall has large orange-pink blooms with a spicy fragrance. The spiral buds open to reveal very full, quartered, cupped flowers, which contrast beautifully with its large olive green leaves. Flowers early and repeats well – good in containers and beds – it’s clear to see why this rose was the recipient of an RHS Award of Garden Merit..
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.
