It is hard to know where to begin with The Simple Life. It has amazing versatility, as it can easily be grown as a climbing rose, reaching 2.0 metres high and 1.8 metres wide. Alternatively it can be pruned every year and grown as a substantial shrub, reaching 1.8 metres high by 1.5 metres wide and fully self supporting. Single with just the five petals, opening to 6 cms wide with pretty stamens.
With a long flowering period, producing flowers all Summer long and into the late Autumn, outstanding health, and remarkable resistance to all diseases - this is a perfect garden rose.
