Full details
The YouGarden Harkness Roses Laura's Rose is ideal for gardeners with limited space, patio enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a low-maintenance, repeat-flowering rose. Its primary benefit is providing abundant, fragrant white blooms throughout summer and early autumn in a compact form. A minor caveat is that the plant naturally sheds leaves from October to prepare for winter, but will regrow in spring. This bush rose is easy to grow, remains compact (rarely exceeding 90cm), and is perfect for containers, offering a continuous display of delicate white flowers with curled petals and a light scent.

What kind of soil is best for this rose?
It prefers well-draining soil. For containers, use a good quality potting compost. For garden planting, amend the soil with organic matter like compost.

Troubleshooting
Plant not flowering
Ensure the plant is receiving adequate sunlight (at least 6 hours daily) and has been fed with appropriate fertilizer. Check for signs of pests or disease.
Yellowing leaves
This can be due to overwatering, underwatering, or nutrient deficiency. Adjust watering frequency and consider feeding with a balanced fertilizer. Ensure good drainage.
Leaves dropping before autumn
While natural leaf drop occurs from October, premature leaf drop might indicate stress. Check watering and soil conditions. Ensure the plant is not exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations.
Pest infestation (e.g., aphids)
Wipe or spray pests off with water or use an organic pesticide. Encourage beneficial insects in the garden.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The rose is supplied as an established plant in a 3-4 litre pot. Ensure the plant is adequately watered before and after planting. Choose a location that receives ample sunlight (at least 6 hours a day) and has well-draining soil. If planting in a container, use a good quality potting compost. If planting directly into the ground, amend the soil with compost or well-rotted manure.
Compatibility: This rose is compatible with most garden soils and can be grown alongside other hardy perennial plants. It is particularly well-suited for companion planting with other compact shrubs or seasonal bedding plants in containers.
Care: Water regularly, especially during dry periods and when the plant is establishing or in flower. Feed with a balanced rose fertilizer in spring and again in early summer. Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to remove any dead or damaged wood and to maintain shape. As autumn approaches (from October onwards), the plant will naturally begin to lose its leaves; this is a normal part of its cycle to prepare for winter. Do not be alarmed by leaf drop during this period. Protect the plant from severe frost during winter, especially if in a container, by moving it to a sheltered spot or wrapping the pot.
