For a scented light pink English shrub rose, you will be hard-pressed to beat the Gentle Hermione English Rose. Bred by David Austin, Gentle Hermione produces perfect shallow cups in shades of light pink. What is more, the blooms are strongly scented with a warming myrrh fragrance. Medium-sized, Gentle Hermione grows to around 4 feet tall.
The Gentle Hermione English Rose develops slightly arching stems that are covered with lush green leaves. Introduced in 2005, this rose is a repeat bloomer and hardy in zones 5 to 11. Gentle Hermione looks stunning in a mixed border or foundation planting. The scented blooms make for a wonderful cut flower.
Gentle Hermione English Rose Care
The Gentle Hermione English Rose performs best when grown in full sun. It thrives in a rich and loamy soil with good drainage. Frequent watering is required during the growing season to keep the soil moist, but not overly wet. To help maintain plant health and encourage the best blooms, apply a rose-specific fertilizer as directed.
Regular deadheading will encourage new buds and flowers to appear. Prune back stems by about one-third to an outward-facing bud in late winter.
Gentle Hermione English Rose Spacing
When fully grown, the Gentle Hermione English Rose can reach 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide. Space multiple specimens around 3 to 4 feet apart.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
