Rosa 'Bonica' bears dainty clusters of medium sized flowers from July to October each year.

In fact, this rose is so versatile and reliable that it holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit for its outstanding garden performance.Rosa 'Bonica' prefers a spot in full sun which benefits from moist, rich, well-drained soil. A hardy, deciduous shrub which reaches 1m tall and spreads by 1.2m.
