The rose was put in a medium pot for the summer before deciding exactly where to plant it when dormant. It has grown well and put out canes a metre tall, completely without thorns. The plant is healthy and vigorous. The flowering is not yet spectacular or very full. The flowers are slightly fragrant when the buds open, then they become scentless. The rose is repeat flowering if you prune the stems that have flowered.

Description
The Kew Gardens English rose is certainly one of the best, in more ways than one. Its beautiful pure white dog roses, warmed by a very soft lemon yellow centre, decorate a large, upright, plump bush, absolutely devoid of thorns. Draped in beautiful, disease-free foliage, with an excellent ability to flower throughout the summer with panache and generosity, this variety will certainly become, quite simply, the most beautiful rose in your garden.
This rose forms a large bush, at least 1.50 m (5ft) tall and 1 m (3ft) in diameter. It has an upright habit and thornless branches, covered with exceptionally healthy dark green foliage. Its flowers, arranged in large clusters, bloom almost continuously from the beginning of summer until the first frost. The buds, in a very soft pale apricot shade, open into dog roses composed of 5 pure white petals, around a sweet lemon yellow centre. The flowering is followed by the formation of a few small hips, which it is preferable to remove to encourage new blooms.
Its upright habit and vigorous growth make this Kew Gardens rose a perfect candidate to provide a backdrop, behind borders of perennials or light annuals such as baby's breath, tall phlox or love-in-a-mist. It copes well with the competition from the roots of other plants, which allows it to be associated with a border of flowering shrubs, the sumptuous foliage of the purple Cotinus 'Grace' or even a landscape hedge. In a countryside-inspired scene, it can be combined with other English roses such as 'Benjamin Britten' (pink), 'Crown Princess Margareta' (apricot), 'Eglantyne' (pink), 'Gertrude Jekill' (intense pink), with delphiniums, deutzias, foxgloves, willowherbs, perennial geraniums, and many others.
This rose is named after the famous Kew Gardens botanical gardens, in southwest London, which celebrated its 250th anniversary in 2011.

Planting and care
Plant your English Rose Kew Gardens in a sunny or lightly shaded location. English roses are tolerant but they won't like excessive limestone. They will adapt to any garden as long as the soil is well worked and rich enough.
To plant your rose, prepare the soil by crumbling it and adding an amendment, such as bonemeal, at the bottom of the planting hole. Water abundantly after planting to remove air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to encourage root growth. Pruning English roses is often essential for flowering but the Kew Gardens variety does not require drastic pruning. At the end of winter, shorten the branches to 3-5 buds above the ground (at the lowest level), choosing an outward-facing bud for a more elegant habit. Take advantage of this pruning to remove dead wood and unsightly branches. Pruning is done at an angle above a bud. As the flowers bloom, remove faded flowers to stimulate the development of other buds.
Roses are often spotted or unsightly in late summer, but it 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.
