The Captain Tom Rose 5.5L
This stunning new red rose variety from the World of Roses has been named after the National Treasure and war veteran, Captain Sir Tom Moore. This abundant bright red rose produces copious quantities of blooms, which appear in waves. Plants are dense, leafy and robust., with good health and hardiness. Buds of deep, dark red open to reveal blooms of rich, velvety petals. Great for use in beds, borders and large patio pots.
With £2.50 of every sale going to The Captain Tom Foundation.
When the Covid-19 pandemic hit in March 2020, Captain Tom hoped to walk 100 laps of his Bedfordshire garden before his 100th birthday, with a goal of raising £1000 for the NHS Covid-19 appeal. What happened next was totally unexpected. By his hundredth birthday, he had inspired an entire nation, been referred to as a beacon of hope, and had raised £38.9 million for the NHS!
This beautiful rose is sure to capture the hearts of many households & gardeners across the UK, just as Captain Tom captured ours.

Useful Information:
| Planting | Water thoroughly or stand container in water for an hour before planting. Dig a hole twice the size of the pot, mix the compost and fertiliser with the soil from the hole, remove the pot, place the plant back in the hole so that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil, backfill and firm down to prevent air pockets. Water well after planting and for the first growing season. Feed-in spring after pruning and again in midsummer with a general rose fertiliser. |
| Position | Will thrive in most well-drained soil, or a good quality multipurpose compost if grown in a pot. Prefers an open sunny site |
| Flowering | Repeat Flowering |
| Height | 90cm X 60cm |
| Pruning | Roses benefit from a mulch of organic material, around the base of the plant after planting. Mulching keeps in moisture, prevents weeds and adds nutrients to the soil. Remove spent flowers after flowering, this will encourage repeat flowering. First remove deadhead, diseased or dying branches. Then tie in any new shoots needed to fill supports. Prune any flowered side shoots back by two-thirds of their length. If the plant is heavily congested, cut out any really old branches from the base to promote new growth. |
