Planting & care
Help it thrive
Planting guide
Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun or light shade. Water regularly during establishment and provide sturdy support for climbing stems. Mulch annually with well-rotted compost or manure.
Care tips
Tie in long new shoots to encourage even coverage and more flowers. Feed in spring with a balanced rose fertiliser and remove dead or overcrowded stems after flowering.
Winter care
Very hardy and easy to maintain. Prune after flowering by removing older stems if needed and tying in new shoots to supports.
