Rosa 'Lady Salisbury'
Rose 'Lady Salisbury'
The blooms have a beautiful, informal rosette shape. At first there is a button eye in the centre but eventually a cluster of stamens is just visible in the middle. There is a light fragrance. ‘Lady Salisbury’ flowers with remarkable continuity from early summer onwards. The matt green leaves and bushy growth are very much in the style of the Old Roses. This is a variety of great Old Rose charm, with some of the character of the Alba Roses.

Planting
From Late Autumn TO Late Spring
Prepare the planting site by digging over the bed and incorporate liberal quantities of well rotted manure or compost; lighten heavy clay soil with half rotted straw. Dress the top soil with plenty of peat mixed with hop manure and chopped up turf. Fresh animal manure is harmful to the roots and should only be used in the bottom spit. Where possible, prepare the planting site a few weeks in advance. Do this in late summer for planting in autumn. Plant at any time between late autumn and late spring. Prepare a planting mixture of bone meal and moist peat. Spread out the roots in the planting hole and add the planting mixture until the roots are covered. Add soil and firm in the plant by treading.
