About
Rosa Guy's Gold ('Harmatch'PBR) is a hybrid tea rose in the Rosaceae prized for its prolonged flowering from June to September.

In the garden
Rosa Guy's Gold ('Harmatch'PBR) is a hybrid tea rose within the genus Rosa and family Rosaceae, raised for ornamental garden use. Its notable running season of bloom runs from June to September, making it a dependable source of flowers through summer and into early autumn. The cultivar shows the repeat-flowering habit associated with hybrid tea types, so many stems will carry bloom during the season. Give roses a position with good air movement and as much sun as the site allows to reduce disease pressure and concentrate flowering where stems receive light. Plant into free-draining soil amended with organic matter; firm the rootball and water in thoroughly at planting. Prune in late winter to remove dead wood and shape the plant, and apply a balanced feed in spring to support bud production. Remove spent blooms to encourage further flushes of flowers and inspect for common pests and black spot, treating as necessary. In a UK garden this cultivar suits a dedicated rose bed, a formal mixed border where single stems are wanted, or as a cutting rose for vases. For sustained, long-stemmed blooms for cutting, remove fading flowers promptly and maintain an annual spring feed to support blooms from June to September.
