English rose 'Roald Dahl'

English Rose ‘Roald Dahl’ (Rosa ‘Roald Dahl’). Warm and poetic, the English Rose ‘Roald Dahl’ enchants with its perfectly formed, soft apricot rosette flowers, borne in abundance on a rounded and balanced bush. Its fragrance is light, fruity, with a tea note, in perfect harmony with its gentle and welcoming appearance. This shrub rose reaches about 110 to 120 cm (43 to 47 inches) in height, with dense, very healthy, glossy green foliage. Highly disease-resistant, floriferous, and repeat-blooming, it flowers tirelessly from June until the frosts.

To plant the English Rose ‘Roald Dahl’, choose an appropriate exposure: full sun or at least 6 hours of direct sun per day. The recommended soil is rich, well-drained. 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's group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the possible presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting it in the ground and ensure that water can drain after planting.

Allow for a width of 100 cm (3.5 feet) to arrange this plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 131 cm (4 feet) helps in choosing its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base to weed, check moisture, and remove damaged parts. Associate 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. Potted roots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
