Fully double rose like flowers appear in late winter to add a warm loving glow to the coldest, darkest days of winter. They tempt you into the garden with the promise that spring is on the way. Nestling in a cosy collar of deep green foliage they continually flower until the end of spring. Originally grown in the 15th century they almost became extinct but due to the miracles of modern laboratory cloning we can still cherish them today. Produced by micropropagation, so once established you will be able to divide each plant & they will remain true to type unlike inferior seed raised varieties. Not fussy on soil conditions & trouble free. Height & spread 20-25cm (10-12"). Prefers well-drained soil in sun or part shade. Hardy perennial.
