I bought 10 rose bushes all at once, but unfortunately the Graham Thomas did not survive, whereas the others are magnificent.

Description
The Graham Thomas Rose, introduced in 1983, remains to this day one of David Austin's most beautiful creations. It is highly sought after by rose enthusiasts as well as Sunday gardeners, first for the beautiful coppery yellow colour of its flowers, a rare hue with remarkable intensity and finesse that is not found in any other category of roses. Secondly, for its exceptional performance in the garden. This vigorous bush, with its dense and healthy foliage, stands as a dense bush, as pleasant when it forms a free-standing bush as when it is trained as a small climber. The month of June marks the start of its radiant flowering, in a floral scent of tea rose. It will not cease until the first frost. This excellent rose received the James Mason Award from the Royal National Rose Society in England in 2000.
This bush with a rather upright habit but well-branched reaches a height of 1.50 m (5ft) to 3m (10ft) depending on how it is pruned, with a spread of 1m (3ft), with rapid growth that allows it to be well established in 3 years. Its growth is vigorous, bushy, and regular. Its roses are produced abundantly in June, and then regularly until October. The buds, of a soft coppery orange, open into double flowers, composed of 20 to 39 petals, 7 cm (3in) wide. They form double cups, coppery yellow in colour when they bloom, then taking on a very warm yellow tone, slightly amber, perfectly uniform and bright. They are remarkably fragrant. Their scent reveals powerful notes of tea rose, enriched with hints of violet, quite characteristic of yellow roses. Its long arching stems are adorned with robust foliage, bright green with a glossy finish, very elegant. It is resistant to rose diseases.
Combining the beauty of old-fashioned roses with the advantages of modern roses, the 'Graham Thomas' rose draws attention like few roses can, bringing a warm touch of colour and fragrance to large borders and perennial beds. Provided you like yellow flowers, of course. It will be well highlighted in front of a screen of boxwood or yew, or, on the contrary, surrounded by a miniature hedge composed of Teucrium chamaedrys, carnations, sage for example. It will also reign at the centre of a carefully organized boxwood maze, as in Italian or French gardens. If you have enough space, English, Old-fashioned, or Shrub Roses are magnificent planted in groups of three specimens. They will grow together to form a single opulent bush that will flower even more generously. Graham Thomas roses are also beautiful in bouquets, with white and blue flowers.
English Roses are well known for being repeat bloomers and their flowers are reputed to be beautiful, regular, and highly fragrant rosettes.
Bred by David Austin in 1983.

Planting and care
Like practically all roses, Graham Thomas prefers a sunny location (at least 4 to 5 hours of sunshine per day) but sheltered from the scorching midday rays and strong winds. Roses appreciate loose, permeable soil that is rich in humus. They prefer slightly acidic soil but will adapt to any garden as long as the soil is well worked and sufficiently rich. To plant your rose in a pot, prepare the soil to a depth of 25 cm (10in) by crumbling the soil and placing a bottom dressing such as bonemeal at the bottom of the planting hole. Position your plant, freed from its pot, and cover the top of the root ball with 3 cm (1in) of soil. Fill in the hole and water generously to eliminate air pockets. During dry weather, it is necessary to water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate root growth. Also, remember to provide your rose with special rose fertiliser that stimulates plant flowering.
Roses are often spotted or unsightly at the end of summer, but this is not a problem for their development. These spots are not harmful to the rose, it is a natural phenomenon.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
