Queen Elizabeth Rose
The Queen Of England RoseQueen Elizabeth rose, the Queen of England rose, is one of the ten most popular roses for over 40 years, according to rose breeders who are growing 'Queen Elizabeth'.
It's a vigorous and tall plant that, with just a light pruning, will grow into an impressive shrub that could be the star and focal point of your garden.
It can be cut down hard in mid-winter about once every 6 years to rejuvinate it. Then remove the least productive
canes as close to the base as possible. This will stimulate new flowering canes for more blooms.
The very best uses for this rose is to plant it as a centerpiece in an island bed, surrounded and underplanted with blue and pink perennals or miniature roses.
The other use would be to place it toward the back of a large flower border.
There is a climbing variety of this rose.
Climbing "Queen Elizabeth'This climber is a summer flowering variety that unfortunately doesn't flower well, even after several seasons. I only got half a dozen flowers after four years. So therefore I do not recommend this climber as others have had similar experiences growing the climbing rose.
