Vibrant blooms with a striking presence
The enchanting mid-pink flowers of this shrub become increasingly lighter at the edges, creating a stunning visual effect. Each bloom features numerous neatly arranged petals that form a slightly domed shape, providing a unique look that draws the eye and adds character to your garden. In addition to its beauty, the flowers offer a light to medium old rose fragrance, adding a classic, romantic scent to the landscape. With its vigorous, upright growth habit, it can quickly transform any space, making it an excellent choice for climbing up trellises, fences, or arbors. As an added bonus, it is nearly thornless, making it easier to train, maintain, and enjoy up close.
Aside from its aesthetics, this plant brings versatility and charm to your landscape. It thrives in various settings, whether you're looking to add a pop of color to your backyard or create an inviting entryway. Named after the celebrated Irish flautist, it embodies a sense of artistry and joy, making it a delightful addition that can uplift any outdoor space.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location that receives full to partial sunlight, ideally with well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball but no deeper than the ball itself. Gently loosen the roots before placing the plant in the ground and fill in with soil, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Spread a layer of mulch 3 feet around the shrub to conserve moisture, insulate roots, and suppress weeds. Water thoroughly after planting to help settle the soil.
2. Watering: Water regularly, especially during the first growing season, to establish a strong root system. Once established, it can tolerate some drought but benefits from consistent moisture. Aim to keep the soil evenly moist without waterlogging.
3. Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Trim away any dead or damaged branches, and shape the plant to enhance its growth habit. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and more prolific flowering throughout the season.
4. Fertilizing: In early spring, use a slow-release formula or an organic option like Espoma Rose Tone. Reapply in June, but avoid fertilizing after mid-summer. Follow package rates and instructions.
