Carding Mill--English Rose Bush Five Gallon Plant
Carding Mill English rose is a flower of beautifully mixed shades of pink, apricot and yellow, overall giving the impression of rich apricot. At the bud stage, when the petals are just starting to unfurl, the inside of the petals are a very rich deep apricot as opposed to the paler, soft yellow undersides. When fully open the center of the flower is well filled with petals, their closeness giving the impression of a rich, apricot - pink. Carding Mill will quickly make a bushy, rounded shrub with quite straight stems, the many flowers nodding just slightly. Maintains a nice compact size about 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, so consider as a colorful backdrop to an all green landscape. There is a strong and beautiful myrrh fragrance to the roses. Carding Mill repeats nicely, giving a pleasant display of color all season long. Shipped potted in soil for best results when planted in yard or garden.
