Planting guide

Care tips
Feed in spring with a slow-release rose fertiliser and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering. Prune lightly in late winter or early spring.
Winter care
Mulch well in late autumn to protect roots and prune back in early spring. In colder regions, provide fleece protection for young plants during severe frost.
