Planting guide
Plant in late autumn or early spring in a well-prepared hole with good drainage and enriched soil. Position graft union just below soil level. Water well after planting and mulch annually.
Care tips
Feed in spring with a balanced rose fertiliser. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering. Watch for aphids and blackspot, treating early if needed.
Winter care
Prune in late winter, removing dead or weak stems to encourage strong new growth. Apply mulch to protect roots in colder regions.
