Rosa Scent From Heaven (‘Chewbabaluv’) (PBR)

Voted Rose of the Year 2017, this climbing rose has a powerful perfume (it won another award for its fragrance at the Paris International Rose Trials). It is also the recipient of a Certificate of Merit in the Royal National Rose Society Trials, so although young, this is already quite an accomplished achiever. A repeat-bloomer, it starts to flower in early summer, producing elegantly pointed buds that open up to lush apricot-orange blooms – and it’s usually still in flower in early autumn. It has been bred in Britain by rose hybridiser Chris Warner, who is renowned for his climbing and rambling roses. He has hailed it as being extremely disease-resistant, saying that ‘you will never have to spray it’ (against fungal diseases). Therefore, not only does it look good, it smells delicious, and will not require a lot of fuss and bother.

All our roses are grown in an open field and then dug up when the weather conditions are right in October or November. They will already have been cut back so no further pruning will be required, apart from snipping off any tips that have died back. Routine pruning can begin in late winter the year after planting.
