- “Maiden's Blush” - it can get up to 1.5m and it grows blush-pink flowers once in early summer;

Firstly you should look for a sunny spot with rich soil and with lots of organic matter. You should also be aware of alkalinity and acidity.
Most of the roses can be plant any time of the year. You should remove any dead growth and cut within 15cm of the plant to help the new growth in late winter. You should also think about a shape than you want your tree to be and train it out.
As a last advice: before you think of planting a flower, think of the responsibility you are taking.
