About
Rosa 'Wedding Day' is a cultivated rose in the genus Rosa and the family Rosaceae that produces flowers through the summer. Its notable trait is a defined flowering season from June to September. As a garden rose it suits locations where summer blooms are wanted and can be treated like other shrub-type roses. Flowers and growth habit vary by cultivar selection and pruning.
About the genus

In the garden
Rosa 'Wedding Day' is a named rose cultivar within the genus Rosa and the family Rosaceae. As with many garden roses, its interest centres on the flowering display, which runs from June to September. Exact origins and specific flower colour or size are properties of the registered cultivar and vary with supply. Position the plant where it receives good air movement and ample light to support flowering; most roses perform best in a sunny, well‑drained spot with soil that holds moisture but does not remain waterlogged. Planting should allow room for routine maintenance such as pruning and inspection for pests or disease, and a layer of mulch helps conserve moisture and moderates soil temperature. Prune to shape and remove dead or crossing wood, and use regular summer deadheading to keep the display neat and to encourage further bloom within the flowering season. Feed with a balanced rose fertiliser during the growing season according to product instructions. Because flowering is concentrated from June to September, plan garden displays and cutting schedules to make the most of that summer period.
