Planting guide
Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained, fertile soil. Mix in compost or rose food at planting. Water well and mulch in spring to help retain moisture.
Care tips
Feed with a balanced rose fertiliser in early spring and again in midsummer. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering. Prune in late winter or early spring.
Winter care
Apply mulch in late autumn and prune in early spring to remove dead wood and shape the plant. Protect young roses in harsh conditions with fleece or mulch.
