Description: Rose 'Harry Wheatcroft' is a striking hybrid tea rose grown for its large, high-centred blooms splashed and striped in vivid shades of red, orange-red and golden yellow. This flamboyant variety brings strong colour and classic rose appeal to garden beds, borders and feature plantings, while also performing well in large pots. In Melbourne conditions, it thrives in a full sun position with rich, well-drained soil and benefits from regular feeding, deep watering and seasonal pruning. With good care, it produces repeat flushes of flowers from spring through to autumn. Its compact, bushy habit and glossy green foliage provide an attractive backdrop to the bold, variegated blooms, making it an excellent choice for adding vibrant colour, fragrance and cut flower potential to the garden.
