Bred by Bruce Brundrett, this attractive variety combines changing flower colours with healthy foliage and relatively straightforward care.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe large blooms display a beautiful blend of deep copper and rich salmon tones, with colours shifting as the flowers mature and throughout the changing seasons. This variation creates an interesting display, with different shades often appearing across the plant.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAlong with its distinctive colouring, ‘Shirley’s Rose’ produces a pleasing fragrance that adds to its appeal in garden beds and borders.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIts excellent foliage and good disease resistance make it a practical choice for gardeners wanting a beautiful flowering rose without demanding maintenance. While regular watering, feeding and seasonal pruning will encourage the best results, this variety is particularly appealing to gardeners with limited time.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWith its warm flower colours and classic bush rose habit, ‘Shirley’s Rose’ works beautifully in mixed borders, traditional rose gardens and alongside complementary flowering perennials.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMature size: Height and width depend on growing conditions and pruning.

Avoid poorly drained positions.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWatering: Water deeply and regularly during establishment. Once established, provide additional water during extended dry periods, particularly through Melbourne's hot summers.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMulching: Apply organic mulch around the base to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature and reduce weeds. Keep mulch clear of the main stems.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFertilising: Feed established roses with a quality rose fertiliser from late August in Melbourne, followed by additional feeding during the growing season according to product directions.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPruning: Prune during winter, generally in July for Melbourne gardens. Remove dead, damaged and crossing branches, then shorten healthy stems to encourage strong new growth and maintain an open, balanced shape.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFlowering Care: Remove spent flowers throughout the growing season to encourage further blooms and maintain a tidy appearance.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPlant Health: Although ‘Shirley’s Rose’ has good disease resistance, allow adequate airflow around the plant and water at soil level where possible to help minimise fungal problems.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Traditional rose gardens\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Cottage-style gardens\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Mixed garden beds and borders\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Australian-bred rose collections\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Warm-toned garden designs\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Fragrant garden plantings\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Sunny garden positions\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Planting alongside flowering perennials\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Gardeners looking for good disease resistance\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Lower-maintenance rose gardens\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Adding copper and salmon flower colours\u003cbr\u003e\r\n— Creating colourful flowering garden features\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Warran Glen Garden Centre \u0026 Cafe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68335181857019,"sku":"bushrsr20","price":49.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0453\/6601\/8210\/files\/39732_IMG-9577-2-2.jpg?v=1792213044","url":"https:\/\/warranglen.com.au\/products\/bush-rose-shirleys-rose-20cm-pot","provider":"Warran Glen Garden Centre \u0026 Cafe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
