Rosa 'Darcey Bussell' is one of the best true red roses available to grow in the garden. It bears an abundance of beautiful bright crimson red flowers, forming the perfect rosette. Flowers fade to mauve just before the petals fall, and have a delicate, fruity fragrance.

Rosa 'Darcey Bussell' has a compact, bushy habit, and is therefore ideal for growing at the front of the border, in pots, or in formal rose beds. It shows great resistance to disease.

Mulch once a year with well-rotted manure or compost and deadhead blooms in summer to prolong flowering.
