Planting guide

Plant into fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny location. Space around 50 cm apart to allow for airflow. Water regularly during establishment, mulch to conserve moisture, and feed with a balanced rose fertiliser in spring and again in midsummer.

Care tips

Keep the soil moist during dry periods, especially in the first year after planting. Remove faded blooms to encourage fresh flowers throughout the season. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring and midsummer, and prune in late winter to keep the plant healthy and shapely.

Winter care

Cut back in late winter, removing dead or crossing stems. In colder areas, mulch around the base to protect roots during prolonged frosts.
