More about China roses:
First introduced from China in 1792, these roses were admired primarily for their repeat flowering capabilities. Furthermore they are famous for bringing crimson to the colour palette. They tend to be twiggy, giving them an elegant form, while their scent is strongly unique. Most importantly, China roses prefer to be in a sunny position.
Sophie’s Perpetual has gorgeous globular double blooms of pale blush pink overlaid with cerise crimson. Continuous flowering, with dark green foliage and a good scent, it can be used as a large shrub or a moderate climber.
Pruning Guide: China roses tend to make small twiggy shrubs if left unpruned, although some – like Sophie’s Perpetual – given time will even climb. Their slightly tender constitution means they are best placed in more sheltered positions. In smaller gardens they can be hard pruned to maintain a more compact plant.
