Glorious white blooms of superb form. Low growth, unusual in the David Austin's. Needs excellent culture to thrive. First, however, we should stop to sing the praises of the lovely white blossoms. Cupped blossoms are borne profusely, most likely due to the Floribunda heritage of grandparent 'Iceberg' passed through 'Graham Thomas'.
Foliage is dark green, and prone to the occasional sparring match with blackspot and mildew.
Glamis Castle' is one of those roses which must be planted in a properly prepared bed. Believing that roses should not be fussed over, I like varieties which are tough enough to withstand my occasionally indifferent planting habits. However, I do indeed work hard to adequately prepare beds for those plants which need some coddling. Glamis Castle' should be planted in well-drained, loamy soil, and patience should be exercised. It will take her a year or two to become established, and until that time, her flowers may be smallish.
