Ghislaine de Feligonde Rose

Ghislaine de Feligonde is a rambling rose, first introduced in the early 1900s that remains popular because of her ability to cover wall, the longevity of her flowers and - Allelujah! - the ability to do well on a north facing wall. Each rose looks like a sculpted dessert - whipped peaks of apricotty - or it could be peachy and creamy - petals with a garnish of golden stamens in the centre to complete the look. Being small and dear, there are lots of them with good, green leaves and, another joy, Ghislaine de Feligonde has almost thornless stems. That makes a difference when you are up a ladder pruning... Also, like the best of that generation, she rarely succumbs to illness. All in all, one of the best of our range of rambling roses.

The solution to a gardening conundrum

A rambling rose that is unfazed by a North facing wall and also thornless is a rare thing. Such a rose means you have killed several garden problems with one stone. Ghislaine de Feligonde can work well close to paths and doors because she won't scratch. She will grow up a north facing wall. The colouring works well with brick and stone and will even disguise the most ghastly woodstained shed. She teams up well with other apricot roses like Grace or Infinity but you could emphasise her unusual colouring with a neutral palette in front like the fizzing Champagne Moments. And being a rambler - with a more relaxed pruning regime - you could thread any number of other climbers like clematis or a scented honeysuckle through her stems.

How to plant Ghislaine de Feligonde

If planting against a wall leave about 45cms (18") between plant and wall. Dig a hole deep enough to allow the graft to finish at soil level when planted and with plenty of room for the roots. Improve the soil from the hole by removing large stones, weeds, roots and other rubbish and mixing in about 25% by volume of well rotted compost or manure. Wet the roots and sprinkle with Rootgrow so it stays in contact with the roots. If planting a pot grown plant gently loosen some of the roots before planting.

Position Ghislaine de Feligonde so the roots are spread out and it is set at approximately the same level in the soil as it was before being transplanted. The union should be level with the soil when you have finished planting. Backfill the hole with the planting mix, firming it down as you go. Water in thoroughly. Water again a day or two later and then keep watering in dry spells.

Delivery: The basic delivery charge for orders of bareroot plants is £6.50 + vat, which increases to £12.55 + vat if you add any pot-grown plants, standard trees or fruit trees to the order.
Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.

Our nursery has been supplying container grown and bareroot hedging plants to gardeners, farmers and town planners since 1949. Our website started in 2003, so we do understand the concerns that you may have about buying hedging plants online. If any of your plants are damaged when they arrive or if you are otherwise not satisfied with your order after you inspect it, please repackage it and contact us. We will give you a refund or send replacements and send a courier to come and collect the unwanted plants.
