Product Description
A superb, large shrub, that can be grown as a large shrub or a short climber, with long, slightly arching, almost thorn-less growth. This is a tough, disease-free rose that is excellent for the back of a mixed border and can be trained into a wonderful short climber by supporting the bush on a structure. Since it is an almost thorn-less rose it is great for a pillar or arch close to your walkway or deck. It can reach 8 feet. The color is a lovely warm pink at the center, shading to pale pink at the edges. The flowers are large and full, with many petals arranged in a neat formation, forming a beautiful domed bloom. There is a delicious old rose scent. Also hardy, vigorous and healthy it can grow in a zone 4 climate.
It was named in celebration of the 60th birthday of James Galway, the world famous flutist.
Planting Instructions
4x6 Roses: Dig a hole one and a half to two feet deep and wide. Mix organic fertilizer or compost with the topsoil. (Mix between 25% compost and 50% compost with your native soil).
It is important to disturb the roots as little as possible during planting. To do this, back-fill the hole with your topsoil/compost mixture, and use the 4x6 pot as a "mold" so when you pack soil around it, the patted soil is even with the top of the pot.
Next, remove the plastic pot from the ground, leaving a nice, neat hole that is the same shape. Gently turn the potted plant upside down and push the plant out of the bottom of the pot. Do NOT pull the roots apart or agitate them. Place the removed plant into the hole, and pat the soil in place gently. Water the plant in well.
3 gallon Roses: These roses have more established root systems, but it is still important to treat them with care when planting. We recommend digging a hole that is one and a half to two feet deep and wide. Amend the soil with compost/fertilizer. Gently ease the plant out of the pot. Do NOT pull from the stem. Place the plant in the hole, pat soil around the plant so that it is level with the top, and water in well.

Care Instructions
During the first year, be sure to water your rose often to ensure the plant doesn't shock in it's new environment. Growth will be good the first year, and by the second year you will be rewarded with a vigorous plant that will continue to establish in your garden.
During the growing season, deadhead plants regularly to promote continuous blooming. We recommend allowing own-root roses to go dormant naturally, which means holding off on deadheading in the fall. Prune back any unruly canes to avoid wind damage during the winter, but otherwise, save pruning for the early spring (before the plant starts pushing new growth).
