Planting & care
Help it thrive
Planting guide
Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position. Incorporate organic matter before planting and water regularly during the establishment period. Feed with a rose fertiliser in spring and midsummer to encourage strong flowering and healthy foliage.
Care tips
Deadhead faded blooms regularly to prolong flowering through the season. Water deeply during dry spells and feed annually to support healthy growth and vibrant flowers. Prune in spring to maintain shape and encourage fresh flowering stems.
Winter care
Trim lightly in autumn to reduce wind damage, then prune more thoroughly in late winter or early spring. Apply mulch around the base to insulate roots and enrich the soil during winter.
