Planting & care

Help it thrive

Planting guide

Plant in a sunny, sheltered position in fertile, well-drained soil. Enrich the planting hole with compost or well-rotted manure. Water well after planting and mulch annually to keep the soil moist and roots cool.

Care tips

Feed in spring with a rose fertiliser and again in midsummer to promote flowering. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage repeat flowering, and prune lightly in late winter or early spring. Water during dry periods and keep the base clear of weeds.

Winter care

Prune lightly in late winter to maintain a tidy shape and promote healthy new growth. Apply a mulch layer after pruning to insulate roots and retain moisture.
