Description
- x 1 David Austin Queen of Sweden Rose : a bush with an upright habit, always neat and fresh regardless of the climate and weather. Its flowering is continuous from June to October, consisting of large, very double flowers of 10 cm (4in), in a tender blush pink colour, beautiful at all stages. This bush, 1 m (3ft) tall and 75 cm (30in) wide, proves to be very resistant to diseases and produces very beautiful cut flowers. The foliage falls in autumn.
- x 3 Nepeta (x) faassenii Six Hill's Giant: this perennial blooms from May to October if the faded inflorescences are pruned. Weakly suckering, these Nepetas form bushes 50 cm (20in) tall and 60 cm (24in) wide, bearing numerous spikes of blue lavender flowers where bees and butterflies gather. Its soft grey-green foliage releases an enchanting aromatic scent when crushed, known to attract cats. The vegetation dries up in winter.
Plant this Wild Duo in a sunny or partly shaded flower bed in the afternoon in hot regions. There are plenty of ideas for associations to create a large flower bed, according to each gardener's taste. You can embellish it with blue bellflowers, Damask nigellas, Bristol Fairy gypsophiles (white) or Rosenschleier gypsophiles (pink), leaning against the cloud cabbage (Crambe cordifolia) and the 'Powis Castle' shrubby wormwood, in a large English-style flower bed, blooming for months. Also consider Lychnis coronaria Angel's Blush or Viscaria Splendens. In a wilder setting, its combination with certain grasses such as Muhlenbergia capillaris or Eragrostis spectabilis or Alchemilla mollis will be superb. Once well established, this duo will only require regular pruning to remove faded flowers and pruning in late winter for the rose.

Planting and care
Plant these plants in the sun, in well-prepared, light and well-draining soil.
Plant your English Rose Queen of Sweden in a sunny or lightly shaded position. English roses are tolerant but do not like excess limestone. They will adapt to any garden as long as the soil is well prepared and rich enough. To plant your rose, work the soil by crumbling it and put an fertiliser, such as bonemeal, at the bottom of the planting hole. Water generously after planting to eliminate air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate root establishment.
Pruning English roses is essential for flowering. At the end of winter, shorten the branches to 3-5 buds above the ground (at the lowest point), choosing an outward-facing bud for a more elegant habit. Take advantage of this pruning to remove dead wood and unsightly branches. Pruning should be done at an angle above a bud. As the flowers bloom, remove faded flowers to stimulate the development of other buds.
Nepetas: a true all-terrain plant, Nepeta 'Six Hills Giant' grows in the sun in light, poor, and rocky soils. It appreciates moist soils but can adapt to summer drought by reducing its flowering. In heavy soils, dig a hole three times larger than the size of the pot and mix 1/3 gravel and 1/3 sand with your topsoil to lighten the soil and prevent waterlogging n winter. In the middle of summer, trim the faded inflorescences to a height of 20cm (8in) using shears. The plant will become more compact and will bloom again in autumn.

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.
