Stunningly beautiful and with legendary, exciting perfume, 'Margaret Merril' is one of the very best bush roses you can buy. It is gorgeous, with big Floribunda ivory-white blooms that flower prolifically against a vigorous, bushy habit, and regrows rapidly from late spring until the first frosts giving you an abundance of flowers.
This coupled with a wonderful fragrance that will waft through the air, make it perfect for transforming any garden throughout summer into autumn, year after year.
What's more, the beauty does not stop in the garden, as this variety is brilliant for cutting for indoor displays. It makes a great tidy bush rose for bigger pots or mixed borders, with white flowers standing out in the height of summer.
Supplied as a freshly potted, professional quality plant in a 3L pot, growing to a height of 80cm. Please note at certain times of the year this variety may be supplied in a 4L pot.
To prune, just remove any dead, dying, damaged and diseased stems and also deadhead regularly.
Traditionally, you would cut just above a leaf joint with a sloping cut away from the bud, however, this isn't necessary, and don’t worry about pruning too much - roses are very resilient and will grow back.
When pruning, make sure that your secateurs are clean and sharp to prevent squashing stems and introducing disease.
Add mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help the plant establish quicker.
