Planting & care
Help it thrive
Planting guide
Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position. Mix compost into the planting hole and water thoroughly after planting. Space plants well to allow airflow and reduce disease risk.
Care tips
Feed in spring with a balanced rose fertiliser and mulch annually to retain moisture. Deadheading is not essential but can help keep plants looking tidy. Water during prolonged dry periods.
Winter care
Hardy throughout the UK. In late winter or early spring, lightly trim back to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged growth.
