Savoy Hotel Rose Bushes

Savoy Hotel Rose Bushes

Savoy Hotel is one of my all-time favourite roses and I have planted it in every garden I have had. Decently scented, perfectly shaped, radiant light pink flowers on long stems, ideal for cutting, are produced in abundance from June through to October-November. It's vigorous and can go over a metre if you let it, but with pruning it'll flower more and look good when kept right around 1 metre by 60cm, and it grows well in a large patio container.

Growing Savoy Hotel Roses

It performs best in terms of both disease resistance and flower production in full sun.

It's a strong grower, best placed towards the back of a rose border where, if you plant it in groups of three (the oldest rose trick in the book), it produces the most fantastic display.

History & Trivia

Bred by Harkness in 1989, and it is a travesty that it has not won the RHS Award of Garden merit; I like to think that this due to limited resources at the RHS, which is a charity, rather than any deficiency with the rose itself. It is unquestionably one of the best light pink roses there is.

Silver Jubilee (hybrid tea) and Amber Queen (floribunda).
