Damask Rose 'Madame Hardy'

Keep in mind when planting that Madame Hardy is thought of as hardy, so this plant will survive close to or on freezing temperatures.

Madame Hardy is not normally grown from seed, as commercially plants are grafted onto root stock. Roses can, however, easily be grown from had wood cuttings taken in the late autumn. Take cuttings about 40 cm long and remove all but the top two or three leaves. Plant deeply into a prepared trench in a shady part of the garden and leave undisturbed for a year. The cuttings can then be potted up and grown on for a year or planted into a nursery bed. Replant into the final position the falling winter in the dormant season

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