Rosa Sherlock Holmes is perhaps the best in the series of modern hybrids called English Legend. This astonishing variety combines beautiful form, delicate fragrance, strong growth, and excellent disease resistance. It bears beautiful dark green foliage. It produces fully double roses, delicately coloured in apricot-orange. They bloom for several months, emitting a beautiful spicy and fruity fragrance. It is a reliable choice for borders and flower beds. Its roses are also very beautiful in a vase.
Â
The English Legend collection brings together roses created in England in the 1990s by the famous breeder Robert Harkness. With their repeat flowering and delicate fragrance, they express all the charm of English roses. Rosa Sherlock Holmes is a hybrid tea rose, characterised by an upright habit and vigorous growth. This bush quickly reaches about 90cm (35in) in height and 70cm (28in) in width. Its thorny stems bear reddish young shoots that unfold into dark green, shiny leaves, divided into 5 finely toothed leaflets. The foliage is not very susceptible to diseases under good growing conditions. Its flowering is long and abundant, renewing itself in successive waves from May-June to October if the soil remains moist. The flowers are solitary or gathered in small clusters of 3. They have a diameter of 8 to 10cm (3 to 4in). Their somewhat globular cups are composed of 90 petals arranged in quarters. Their fragrance is pronounced, reaching its peak at noon and in the evening, after a hot and sunny day. The foliage is deciduous, falling in autumn.
Â
English shrub roses can be used to create beautiful small hedges, planted along the edge of a patio, or in modest-sized shrub borders. Combine them with Mexican oranges or caryopteris, for example. They make good companions for panicle phlox and tall baby's breath. Rosa Sherlock Holmes will look wonderful when planted in groups of 3, forming an extremely decorative large bush. It can be surrounded by catmints, lavenders, and perennial or shrubby salvias with blue, mauve, or white flowers. This very hardy rose requires little maintenance. It thrives in full sun or partial shade. It will delight all gardeners, whether beginners or experienced.

Botanical data
Plant in a sunny location. English roses are tolerant, but do not like excessive limestone. They will adapt to any garden as long as the soil is well worked, not too heavy, and sufficiently rich. To plant your rose, work the soil by crumbling it and add fertiliser to the bottom of the planting hole (dried blood or dehydrated horn, for example). Water generously after planting to remove any air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate rooting. Provide your rose with special rose fertiliser that stimulates flowering.
Pruning bushy English roses is essential for flowering. Shorten the branches to two or three buds above the ground in spring, choosing an outward-facing bud for a more elegant habit. Remove dead wood and unsightly branches. Pruning should be done at an angle above a bud.
Regularly remove faded flowers to encourage new blooms.
Roses are often stained or unsightly at the end of summer, but this will not hinder their development. These spots are a natural phenomenon and will not harm the rose.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
