ROYAL AIR FORCE ROSE - Rose Bush Royal Air Force is a repeat-flowering, strong upright rose bush that produces large, silver and pink toned lilac blooms. This light lilac flowering outdoor rose plant in a 3L pot is weather and wind resistant, ideal for growing in UK gardens. It is ready for planting outdoors now.
LOW MAINTENANCE - This attractive hybrid tea rose ideal for hedges, beds and borders loved by pollinating insects in particular bees and butterflies, is very low maintenance and ideal for growing in a variety of locations including city, courtyard and cottage style gardens in patio pots, containers, rockery alpine beds or borders.
GROWING CONDITIONS - Rose bush Royal Air Force can grow to a height of 50cm-100cm and a spread of 100cm maximum in full to partial sun in rich, fertile, moist, well draining soil. It copes in a sheltered or exposed sunny planting location in a variety of soil conditions.
ONGOING CARE - To prune, start by removing all dead, diseased, damaged, weak and spindly shoots, reduce strong shoots by about one-third and if they become too large and congested they can be renovated by pruning to near ground level, 10cm from the base in late winter.
