Grouped with blues and grays, her soft apricot color will blend superbly. Growth is robust and vigorous, although 'Evelyn' resents hard pruning. For best chance of rebloom, regular deadheading is recommended.
Growth habit is tall and upright, and the canes take on an arching form as they mature.
Foliage is susceptible to blackspot so, unfortunately, a spray program may have to be implemented. Evelyn' is not one of those plants that can be planted and left to fend for herself, so new rose gardeners may want to consider roses which are forgiving of less than ideal planting or culture. Named to mark the introduction of a new line of toiletries by the firm Crabtree and Evelyn.
