The YouGarden Harkness Roses Lily's Rose is a climbing plant ideal for gardeners seeking continuous, evolving color and a fresh, citrus-rich scent. Its key benefit is its long-lasting, repeated flowering from early summer to autumn, unlike roses that offer a short burst of blooms. A consideration is that the plant naturally loses leaves from October to prepare for winter, but will regrow in spring.

It is best planted when it is actively growing, typically from spring through to early autumn. However, being supplied in a pot, it can be planted at any time of year provided the ground is not frozen.
It prefers well-drained soil. Amending heavy clay soil with compost or grit can improve drainage.
It grows to approximately 180cm (around 6 feet) tall.
Yes, it is well-suited for growing in a large container (minimum 40cm diameter) on a patio or balcony.
No, like most roses, Lily's Rose will naturally lose its leaves from October to prepare for winter. New leaves will appear in spring.
Water regularly, especially during warm weather and when the plant is establishing. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
It grows well with plants that enjoy similar conditions, such as clematis, lavender, and hardy perennials.
Ensure the rose is receiving adequate sunlight (at least 4-6 hours daily) and is properly fed. Check for any signs of pests or diseases that might be stressing the plant.
This can be due to overwatering, poor drainage, or nutrient deficiency. Adjust watering frequency and ensure the soil drains well. Consider applying a rose-specific fertilizer.
Ensure the plant is securely tied to its support and is receiving sufficient nutrients and water. Pruning can encourage stronger growth in the following season.
This is natural. The plant is preparing for winter dormancy. New growth will appear in spring.
Planting:
Your Lily's Rose is supplied as a freshly potted, established plant in a 4-litre pot, ready for immediate planting. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the pot and to the same depth. Gently remove the plant from its pot, loosen the roots slightly if pot-bound, and place it in the hole. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly.
Support:
As a climbing rose, it will require support such as a trellis, fence, wall, or obelisk to grow upwards. Gently tie the main stems to the support as they grow.
Watering:
Water regularly, especially during dry periods and the first year after planting, to establish a strong root system. Ensure the soil is moist but not waterlogged.
Feeding:
Feed with a balanced rose fertilizer in spring and again in early summer for optimal flowering. Mulching around the base will help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Pruning:
Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches and to shape the plant. Deadhead spent flowers during the growing season to encourage further blooms.
Seasonal Consideration:
Note that roses naturally begin to lose their leaves from October as they prepare for winter. New leaves and buds will emerge in spring. This is a normal part of the plant's cycle.
