Planting guide

Plant in well-prepared, fertile soil with plenty of organic matter. Ensure the graft point is just below the soil surface. Water well after planting and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Care tips

Water deeply and regularly during dry spells, and feed with a balanced rose fertiliser monthly from spring through midsummer. Deadhead faded flowers to encourage fresh blooms, and prune in late winter to shape and maintain healthy growth.

Winter care

Apply a thick mulch around the base in late autumn to protect roots, and prune lightly to remove damaged or crossing stems. Full pruning should be done in late winter.
