Description

The English rose Coniston, also known as Count of Champagne, is a very healthy variety with a generous and fragrant flowering in shades of yellow. Its flowers emerge in an intense yellow colour and then open, fading to form perfect cups that reveal a heart of yellow ocher stamens. All these shades can be found on this bushy shrub, which is as wide as it is tall.

 

The habit of this rose is low, wide, and bushy, with a tendency to spread. It forms a bush about 1 m (3 feet) in all directions, producing very flexible thin and arching stems. A delightful fragrance of honey and musk adorns its charming flowering perfectly. Its cup-shaped, semi-double flowers, are of medium size, measuring from 6 to 7 cm (2 to 3in) in diameter, and change colour quite quickly over time, and at a certain point, a whole palette of assorted shades can be found on a vibrant and healthy green foliage: apricot, peach, orange, copper, yellow.

 

'Count of Champagne' is an excellent rose for a mixed border, as its graceful simplicity pairs well with perennial plants or flowering shrubs such as Abelia, Nandina, or Caryopteris for example. It is a good companion for phlox and tall gypsophila. It also forms wonderful combinations with botanical roses such as Rosa alba suaveolens, Rosa californica, Rosa chinensis mutabilis, or even Rosa foetida bicolor.

Planting and care

Plant your English Rose Comte de Champagne in a sunny or lightly shaded location. English roses are tolerant but will not like excessive limestone. They will adapt to any garden as long as the soil is well worked and rich enough.  To plant your rose, work the soil by crumbling it well and putting an amendment at the bottom of the planting hole, such as bonemeal. Water generously after planting to remove air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to encourage rooting.

Pruning English roses is essential for flowering. At the end of winter, shorten the branches to 3-5 buds above the ground (at the lowest), choose a bud that points outward for a more elegant habit. Also prune to remove dead wood and unsightly branches. Pruning should be at an angle above an bud. As the flowers bloom, remove faded flowers, as this stimulates the development of more blooms.

Roses are often marked or unsightly at the end of summer, but this is not a problem for their development. These marks are not harmful to the rose, it is a natural phenomenon.

Pruning instructions The pruning of English roses is essential for flowering. At the end of winter, shorten the branches to 3-5 buds above the ground (at the lowest), choose an outward-facing bud for a more elegant habit.

As the flowers bloom, remove faded flowers, as this stimulates the growth of other buds.
