About
Rosa Bella Rosa ('Chewnicebell') is a named garden rose cultivar in the genus Rosa that flowers repeatedly from June to September. It belongs to the family Rosaceae and produces successive flushes of blooms across the summer months. Plants carry the structural form and foliage typical of cultivated roses. Deadheading after each flush helps maintain bloom production through the season.
About the genus
A rose is either a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae, or the flower it bears. There are over three hundred species and tens of thousands of cultivars. The plants range in size and form, from trailing and erect shrubs to climbers up to 7 metres (23 ft) in height.

In the garden
Rosa Bella Rosa ('Chewnicebell') is a named cultivar within the genus Rosa and the family Rosaceae, offered as a garden rose for summer display. As with many cultivated roses, it delivers a series of flowering flushes between June and September, so it contributes extended colour through the main UK summer period. For culture, choose a site with good soil structure and free drainage; avoid waterlogged positions where root health can suffer. Work generous organic matter into the planting hole and maintain a 5–10 cm mulch layer to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Water well through establishment and apply a balanced rose fertiliser in spring and again after the first major flush to support repeat blooms. Light formative pruning in late winter or early spring opens the centre and removes weak wood; remove spent flowers during the season to promote further flowering. In a UK garden it suits rose beds and mixed shrub borders where a sequence of summer blooms is wanted, and it can be cut for short-lived arrangements. If hips are left on the bush they will follow the summer flowering and can add autumn interest; deadhead if sustained flowering is the priority.
