Growing City of York Roses
Good, well drained soil with a decent amount of sun is all you need, and something to grow it up. Roses thrive on clay as long as it's not too waterlogged in winter.
To encourage a good second bloom, it's important to deadhead the first flush of flowers promptly. If they begin to form hips, it probably won't re-bloom unless it's in ideal conditions.
History & Trivia
Bred in 1939 (but for obvious reasons was not commercially available until after 1945) by Mathias Tantau (1882 - 1953) in Germany, where it was originally known as Direktor Benschop. It won the gold medal at the 1950 ARS American Rose Society Show.
The parents were Professor Gnau and Dorothy Perkins.
