Rose 'A Shropshire Lad'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that A Shropshire Lad is thought of as hardy, so this plant will grow or become dormant during the winter. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.5 and 6.5 as A Shropshire Lad likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

‘A Shropshire Lad’ is a hybrid variety of rose; as such it will not reliably grow true to type from seed.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as A Shropshire Lad is a hardy plant.
