There is a delicious musky tea rose scent. Good for disease resistance Repeat Flowering Ideal for poor soil Highly Recommended by David Austin Roses RHS Award of Garden Merit Bred by David Austin Suitable for zones 6 to 10 DETAILED DESCRIPTION Although a member of the English Musk Roses, ‘Molineux’ is closer to the old tea roses in its breeding. It flowers with exceptional freedom and continuity, bearing medium-sized blooms in the form of neat rosettes. Tinged with orange at first, they quickly become rich yellow in colour. It has a characteristic tea rose fragrance with a musky background. GROWTH HABIT It forms a healthy shrub with short, even, upright growth, similar to a Hybrid Tea or Floribunda rose. A reliable variety, it does well in all climates, be it colder than the UK or much warmer. In warmer, Mediterranean-type climates summer pruning may be beneficial to maintain its shape and to encourage quicker repeat-flowering. ‘Molineux’ is one of the best English Roses for planting in formal rose beds. It is also a good choice for a specimen plant, landscaping projects and hedging. 36" STANDARD TREE ROSE - # 1.5 Grade Standard Roses are magnificent garden plants. They are created by budding three shrubs on a stem; hence the dramatic effect. We believe English Roses, with their natural, bushy growth and beautiful, fragrant flowers, are the finest roses for growing as standards. Tree roses are ideal for creating focal points in key areas of the garden and can also be used to line a path, frame a doorway or bring interest to a bare wall. Standards are useful for adding height to a border and look particularly impressive when planted closely together in groups of three or four. It is important to stake standards at planting time, to assist the stem in holding up the bounty of full sized blooms all summer. All are budded at 36" in height. ORIGINS It was named after Wolverhampton Wanderers’ football stadium for Sir Jack Hayward, the former Chairman of the club.
