Rosa ‘Fisherman’s Friend’ (Fisherman’s Friend English Shrub Rose)

Rosa ‘Fisherman’s Friend’ (Fisherman’s Friend English Shrub Rose) is a striking English rose admired for its large, fully double blooms in rich crimson to deep garnet-red tones. The dramatic flowers contrast beautifully with dark green foliage and carry an exceptionally strong classic rose fragrance. Its robust, bushy habit makes it an impressive feature in rose gardens, cottage-style landscapes, beds and mixed borders, while the richly coloured blooms are also excellent for cutting.

Fisherman’s Friend is particularly appealing to gardeners seeking a darker-coloured rose with outstanding fragrance and traditional English rose character. The flowers appear primarily during the warmer flowering season, with additional blooms possible later in the season. Plant it in a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil and provide regular feeding and pruning to maintain vigorous growth and encourage the best flowering display.
