Description
The English rose Blythe Spirit has small semi-double roses of pure and soft yellow, with a slight musky fragrance. They bloom for a long period, with a charming nonchalance, giving its flexible branches a half-wild/half-tamed appearance. Its upright growth shows a naturally loose bushy habit and dense foliage, highly resistant to diseases. Light and graceful, this rose possesses undeniable landscape qualities and timeless charm. It is a beautiful bush for a flowering hedge.
This rose, tall and wide at 1.20 m (4ft), has slightly different characteristics from David Austin's creations. It has a unique charm, a blend of gaiety and refinement without heaviness. Its flowers are small and lightweight, composed of open cup-shaped petals. The bouquet-like flowering repeats throughout the summer, with the roses blooming freely, one after another, on a bush with a graceful habit capable of reaching 1.20 m (4ft) in all directions. Smaller than the usual English roses, they measure 4 to 5 cm (2in) in diameter but bloom in great numbers. They emerge as dark yellow buds, open to a buttery yellow shade, soft and warm. From a distance, they somewhat resemble the fresh flowers of buttercups. Their fragrance of musky rose with a hint of myrrh is light and pleasant.
The harmonious growth of this rose makes it an ideal plant for flowering hedges and shrub borders. As it forms a beautiful bush, it is perfect as a backdrop, behind borders of light perennials like paniculate gypsophila, tall phlox, large daisies, or blue autumn asters. It can also be trained on a trellis or a small arch. For example, it can be paired with the sumptuous foliage of 'Grace' purple smoke bush, serrulata cherry, Virginia creeper 'Tiger Eyes', and deciduous euonymus, in a landscape hedge. It will stand out in front of a dark screen of boxwood or yew, or, conversely, surrounded by a miniature hedge as in Italian or French gardens. If you have enough space, English, Old, or Shrub Roses look magnificent when planted in groups of three. They will grow together to form a 'single' monumental bush that will bloom even more generously.
David Austin 1999 creation.

Planting and care
Plant your English Rose Blythe Spirit in a sunny or lightly shaded location. English roses are tolerant but do not like excessive limestone. They will adapt to any garden as long as the soil is well worked and rich enough. To plant your rose, work the soil by crumbling it and put an amendment at the bottom of the planting hole, such as bonemeal. Water generously after planting to remove any air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate root growth.
Pruning English roses is essential for flowering. At the end of winter, shorten the branches to 3-5 buds above the ground (at the lowest point), choose an bud that points outward for a more elegant habit. Take advantage of this pruning to remove dead wood and unsightly branches. Prune at an angle above a bud. As the flowers bloom, remove faded flowers to stimulate the development of other buds.
Roses are often stained or unsightly at the end of summer, but this is not a problem for their development. These spots are not harmful to the rose, it is a natural phenomenon.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
