Planting guide
Plant in a sunny spot with well-drained, fertile soil. Ensure good air circulation and space the plant to allow growth without overcrowding. Water well after planting and feed in spring with a rose fertiliser.
Care tips
Feed in early spring and again in midsummer with a balanced rose fertiliser. Deadhead regularly to encourage repeat flowering, and prune back in late winter or early spring to maintain a strong framework. Keep the base weed-free and water during dry spells, especially in the first year after planting.
Winter care
Prune back in late winter to maintain shape and encourage strong new growth. Apply mulch around the base after pruning to protect roots and suppress weeds.
