The YouGarden Harkness Linda's Rose is ideal for gardeners seeking a fragrant, repeat-flowering rose with a compact habit for containers or borders. Its key benefit is the continuous display of soft shell pink blooms and a delightful fruity scent from early summer to autumn. A potential caveat is that the plant will naturally shed leaves from October to December as it prepares for winter, which is a normal part of its dormancy cycle.

It is best to plant your Linda's Rose as soon as possible after receiving it. While it can be planted at most times of the year, autumn and spring are generally considered ideal for establishment.
Yes, the Harkness Linda's Rose will naturally lose its leaves from October to December as part of its dormancy cycle to prepare for winter. New leaves will grow back in spring.
Feed your rose during the growing season, which typically runs from spring through summer, using a balanced rose fertilizer or general plant food.
This rose is an outdoor plant and is not suited for growing indoors. It requires sunlight and outdoor conditions to thrive.
A light pruning is recommended in winter to remove dead or damaged wood and to shape the plant. This encourages strong new growth and flowering for the following season.
It is a compact Floribunda rose, suitable for containers and borders. Specific mature size can vary but it is generally not a very large shrub.
Ensure the rose is receiving at least 6 hours of sunlight daily and has been fed during the growing season. Check if pruning was too severe in winter, as this can sometimes delay flowering.
This can indicate a lack of nutrients or overwatering. Check soil moisture and consider feeding with a balanced fertilizer. Ensure good drainage, especially in containers.
Gently wash off with a strong jet of water or use a specific garden insecticidal soap. Encourage natural predators like ladybugs.
