Add classic English-rose charm to your garden with Rosa 'The Alnwick(R) Rose', an English shrub rose prized for its rich pink, deeply cupped blooms and strong old-rose fragrance. You will enjoy generous flushes that repeat through the growing season, making it a reliable choice for borders, mixed beds, and cutting gardens.
Give your rose a site with full sun for best flowering, though it can handle light afternoon shade in hotter climates. Plant in fertile, well-drained soil and water deeply to establish; once rooted, keep moisture consistent during dry spells, especially when buds are forming.
As it matures, expect a rounded shrub about 36-48 inches tall with a 24-36 inch spread. Space plants to allow good air movement, mulch to moderate soil moisture and temperature, and feed during the growing season per your preferred rose program.
Prune in late winter or early spring to shape and encourage vigorous new canes, removing dead or crossing growth. Deadhead spent blooms to promote repeat flowering and keep the plant looking its best from spring into fall.
