Peony roses are strong growing perennials that flower late spring to early summer. Whilst not technically roses, they make beautiful cut flowers and last well in a vase. Cold winters will result in the best blooms making them best suited to cooler regions. Prefers a well drained position in full sunlight, with afternoon shade. Plants will die down over Winter and re-grow each year forming a leafy clump. Spread lime towards the end of flowering to improve root development and improve flowers for the following year.
