Planting guide
Choose a sunny, sheltered position in well-drained soil. Dig in compost or rose food when planting and water thoroughly. Apply mulch each spring to support healthy growth.
Care tips
Feed with rose fertiliser in spring and midsummer. Deadhead faded flowers to encourage reblooming. Prune in early spring to maintain shape and vigour.
Winter care
Mulch around the base after leaf fall in autumn and prune in early spring to maintain shape and remove dead wood. Protect new plants with fleece if frost is severe.
