Rosa Shrub Rose ‘Rosa gallica Versicolor’

A sport of R. gallica ‘Officinalis’, sharing all of its virtues except colour – the crimson flowers are striped with white, giving them an attractively fresh appearance. Occasionally a flower will revert to the colour of its parent. Although it is only once flowering, it is a very showy plant, producing a mass of blooms with a delicious Old Rose fragrance.  It forms a bushy, compact shrub that is extremely tough, healthy and reliable. Can also be grown as a hedge. Our Roses have been nurtured for at least three years – from the seed grown rootstock and then hand grafted with the rose variety and eventually grown onto a mature plant. The stems have been sprayed with a near-invisible natural latex material which helps protect the growth from drying out.
