• Originally bred by David Austin as part of his English Rose collection, combining old rose charm with repeat flowering
• Features distinctive golden-yellow blooms with peachy highlights and strong myrrh fragrance that intensifies in warm weather
• Grows as compact bush reaching 1-1.2 metres tall with dense, dark green foliage and excellent disease resistance
• Beloved by gardeners for continuous flowering from spring through autumn and exceptional cut flower qualities
• Named after Molineux Football Club, reflecting its robust and reliable performance in garden settings

• Water deeply 2-3 times weekly during active growing season, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings
• Position in full sun with minimum 6 hours morning light for best flowering and natural disease resistance
• Plant in well-draining soil enriched with compost and aged manure, ensuring good air circulation around plant
• Feed monthly with rose fertiliser during growing season from spring to early autumn for continuous blooming
• Prune in late winter removing one-third of growth, focusing on dead, diseased and crossing branches
• Maintain consistent soil moisture but avoid waterlogged conditions which can lead to root problems
• Apply organic mulch in spring to conserve moisture and suppress weeds around root zone

• Plant in full sun location receiving at least 6 hours of morning sunlight for optimal flowering and disease prevention
• Water deeply at soil level 2-3 times weekly during growing season, reducing frequency in winter months
• Apply organic mulch around base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch away from main stem
• Feed monthly during growing season with rose-specific fertiliser or well-rotted cow manure for abundant blooms
• Prune in late winter removing dead, diseased and crossing branches to encourage healthy new growth

• Aphids cluster on new growth and buds - spray with soapy water or introduce beneficial insects like ladybirds for natural control
• Black spot appears as dark spots on leaves - ensure good air circulation and avoid watering foliage, apply fungicide if severe
• Thrips cause silvery damage to petals and leaves - use blue sticky traps and neem oil spray during warm weather
• Root rot occurs from overwatering or poor drainage - plant in well-draining soil and allow soil to dry between waterings
• Scale insects attach to stems creating waxy bumps - scrape off manually or apply horticultural oil spray
