Rose ‘Zéphirine Drouhin’

A traditional variety of Bourbon Rose, Rose ‘Zéphirine Drouhin’ is a wonderfully coloured deep pink, double rose that not only looks amazing as it covers walls, it also has a rich fragrance that can be allowed to drift indoors through an open window during the summer months. Bourbon Roses are completely thornless which means that they can be safely grown anywhere in the garden without the worry of being pricked or scratched and they are vigorous growers so that they will quickly cover a wall or fence, or can even be trained to grow up a large tree too. Height: 500cm (197″). Spread: 250cm (98″).

Culinary note: Some parts of these flowers are edible. Rosehips and petals can be used in making syrups and the petals will add flavour to cold drinks or fruit dishes. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Companion planting: Try growing roses with garlic, chives, thyme or mint to help deter aphids and blackfly.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
