'Isn't She Pretty'
tea rose
Rosa 'Isn't She Pretty' is a compact, modern shrub rose from the admired 'Isn't She' series, bred for neat growth, robust health and a wonderfully even flowering habit. Its blooms are a delicate bicolour blend of white and pale salmon-pink, bringing a fresh, softly blushed look to borders and patio planting. The flowers stand out beautifully against dark green foliage, giving Rosa 'Isn't She Pretty' a crisp, polished appearance throughout the flowering season. Highly disease resistant and pleasingly uniform in bloom, Rosa 'Isn't She Pretty' is a rose that behaves impeccably while still managing to look charmingly romantic.
Plant Rosa 'Isn't She Pretty' in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position, where its compact habit and colourful flowers can be enjoyed at close range. It is ideal for smaller gardens, mixed borders, rose beds and containers, pairing beautifully with lavender, nepeta, salvias, silver foliage and soft cream perennials. Regular deadheading will help encourage further flushes, keeping the display fresh and generous over a long season. The dark foliage gives each pale salmon-pink bloom extra definition, rather like the perfect frame around a watercolour. Healthy, graceful and easy to place, Rosa 'Isn't She Pretty' is a lovely choice for gardeners who want reliable rose beauty with a gentle, modern touch.

Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
