Bourbon Rose, Hybrid Multiflora 'Gipsy Boy'

I have two Gipsy Boy rose bushes. The blooms are deliciously scented, small and compact, as they age, the blooms turn from an almost fluo...Read Morerescent pink to deep mauve. The shrub has an arching habit, with fine strong thorns, you definitely cannot handle it without strong gloves, the foliage is dark green, but not very glossy. This rose only flowers once a year, but the blooms are followed by large orange hips. The shrub appreciates a good mulch containing manure, either late autumn or early spring.
