Planting guide
Choose a sunny position with rich, well-drained soil. Mix compost or well-rotted manure into the planting hole, water thoroughly, and mulch to retain moisture.
Care tips
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Feed in spring and midsummer with rose fertiliser. Prune in late winter or early spring to shape and encourage strong growth.
Winter care
Prune back in early spring and mulch well around the base in late autumn. Protect young plants during harsh frosts with fleece or straw if needed.
