Planting guide
Plant in spring or autumn, ensuring the graft union is just below soil level. Choose a sunny position with good air flow. Water well after planting and mulch annually with well-rotted compost.
Care tips
Feed in early spring with a balanced rose fertiliser and deadhead regularly to encourage repeat blooms. Watch for aphids and blackspot, especially in humid conditions.
Winter care
Mulch around the base in autumn and protect potted plants from extreme frost by moving to a sheltered spot or insulating the container.
