Rose ‘Constance Spry’

Rose ‘Constance Spry’ is a beloved heritage rose, celebrated for its large, deeply cupped blooms in a luminous mid-pink shade and its wonderfully strong, classic rose fragrance. Romantic and vigorous, it is ideal for covering pergolas, arches, and fences, bringing old-world charm to the garden. Naturally a tall climber reaching up to about 6 m, it can also be pruned and grown as a large, graceful shrub.

The rose is named after Constance Spry, a renowned British florist and floral designer who transformed modern flower arranging in the mid-20th century. The name reflects the rose’s elegant, generously formed blooms and timeless beauty.

Care Instructions:

• Sunlight: Plant in full sun to light shade; at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for best flowering.

• Watering: Water deeply and regularly, especially during hot or dry spells.

• Soil: Prefers rich, well-drained soil improved with compost or well-rotted manure.

• Feeding: Feed with a quality rose fertilizer during the growing season to encourage healthy growth.

• Pruning: Lightly prune after flowering; heavier pruning can be done in late winter to manage size and shape.

• Support: Provide strong support when grown as a climber and tie in new shoots carefully.

• Mulching: Mulch around the base to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and enrich the soil.
