Description

Vanessa Bell® David Austin Rose Plants

Vanessa Bell is a new release from David Austin for 2017. Being the palest yellow she is a welcome addition to our range of roses which has plenty of golds, but fewer yellows.

Vanessa Bell's charm begins her buds which are very slightly blushing pink and rounded. The mature flower is shades of yellow - the more richly coloured central eye is surrounded by petals that blanch to a creamy white giving the flower a lovely luminous aura. Its shape is rounded and full with a generous clothing of large petals. The flowers grow in clusters and seem ever-present through the summer and into the autumn. Vanessa Bell has fantastic posture, holding herself upright at all times and is not leggy although reasonably tall. Her scent is a little lemony, like her colour, with a whiff of green tea and honey. Delicious.

Picture perfect

Vanessa Bell's soft yellow colouring will fit in with virtually any other scheme in the garden, from pastel hues to vibrant primary colours. Whether your garden is an unruly bohemian affair or a terse and ordered place, Vanessa Bell will shine. Concentrate upon the fact that her rounded bushiness and embarrassment of flowers mean that you could use Vanessa Bell as a stunning hedge - to make a change from all of our other hedging plants. Plant Vanessa Bell with the deep yellow Charlotte to bring out her golden highlights or introduce her to Winchester Cathedral whose pure white flowers would also emphasise her subtle colouring.

Planting Instructions

How to plant Vanessa Bell roses

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 your Vanessa Bell so the roots ar e 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.
