Rosa Perfect Harmony (‘Tangustedv’)

An unusual and highly-scented rose that radiates from a buttery-yellow centre, transitioning through cream to meet the ruffled outer petals tinged with pinkish-orange. ‘Perfect Harmony’ has excellent disease resistance, glossy mid-green foliage on strong upright growth, and would make an ideal engagement or wedding rose suitable for a container or the middle of a border.

All our roses are grown in an open field and then dug up when the weather conditions are right in October or November. Some suppliers send out their roses as ‘bare root’ plants (ie without pots or compost), but we pot ours up as it helps to keep the roots hydrated and in good condition. As they are dormant throughout the winter, they will not produce any new roots until spring, so don’t be surprised if the compost falls away from the roots when you take them out of their pots. The roses can be kept in their pots throughout the winter provided they are kept well fed and watered, however ideally they should be planted out as soon as possible. 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.
