Amber Queen Floribunda Rose

Amber Queen roses are large, many-petalled, fragranced and a deep gold colour. The flowers are held in clusters - as with all floribunda roses - above its plentiful dark green, glossy foliage which is noticeably bronze when young. Because it is grown in the UK where we can control quality, Amber Queen is a healthy little rose with reasonable levels of disease resistance. It is bushy in shape but unlikely to reach 1 metre, so it is well placed if planted towards the front of the border. It can also be grown in a large container on a patio or terrace.

Tolerant of a little bit of shade, quite thorny and bred by Harness in 1984 Amber Queen immediately won the coveted title of Rose of the Year. As with so many roses, if you are looking for effect and a block of colour, then we would recommend planting in a triangular group of three with about 2-2.5 ft (60-70 cms between plants. However, because of its size and tidy habit, Amber Queen is also good as a rose to line the edge of a path. To 2.5 ft

How to plant Amber Queen

The standard rules apply when planting Amber Queen roses. Ideally they should be planted barerooted over the winter months, between late autumn and early spring although container grown roses can be planted at any time of year. They are suited to any well-drained soil, but digging a bucket per plant of well-rotted garden compost into the planting area beforehand helps. Using Rootgrow when planting will also give your plant the best start.

Fully grown these roses are still quite small at about 2.5ft x 2.5 ft so they can fit into small spaces. The soil should be kept moist but well drained throughout flowering and the plants should be top dressed with Vitax at the beginning of the season.

Amber Queen should be planted in partial to full sun for best results, but being totally hardy it will grow in almost any aspect where there is light. Like all floribunda roses it hates being under trees. Expect flowering continuously from around June until the first frosts. Weeding should be done by hand or carefully with a fork or hoe to avoid root damage. Weeds can be reduced and kept at bay by mulching.
