English rose 'Lichfield Angel'

English Rose 'Lichfield Angel' (Rosa 'Lichfield Angel'). Rosa 'Lichfield Angel', commonly known as the English rose 'Lichfield Angel', is a David Austin style variety appreciated for its generous blooming and luminous elegance. Its rounded, vigorous, bushy habit bears large, double, rosette-shaped flowers, a warm cream delicately tinged with apricot at the heart when opening, lightening to a soft ivory as they mature. Moderately fragrant, they diffuse a subtle scent with notes of old rose and myrrh. Flowering profusely from early summer until the first frosts, this rose offers a refined presence in beds, borders, or low hedges.

To plant the English rose 'Lichfield Angel', choose a suitable exposure: sun. The recommended soil is as follows: rich, well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then adapt pruning to the rose group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the possible presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure that water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1.2 m (4 ft) to arrange this plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 1.2 m (4 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Combine this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
