Planting guide

Plant in a warm, sheltered spot with nutrient-rich, well-drained soil. Dig a generous hole, add compost, and position the rose so the graft union sits just below the soil surface. Water thoroughly, tie in initial canes to supports, and maintain consistent moisture during establishment. Apply rose fertiliser in spring and after the first flush of blooms.

Care tips

Feed with a balanced rose fertiliser in early spring and again after the first flowering flush. Tie and train canes as they grow, and prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape. Water evenly during dry spells to support flowering and apply mulch annually to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Regularly check for pests like aphids or signs of disease.

Winter care

Tie in canes late in autumn to prevent wind damage. Trim lightly to remove weak or dead growth, and apply a mulch layer around the base. In colder zones, protect with fleece wraps around the crown.
