Position in
the GardenThis rose thrives in a sunny spot—either planted in a border or in a generously sized container—where it receives at least six hours of daily sun.
Planting guide
Plant in well‑drained soil enriched with organic matter. For containers ensure a free‑draining compost and regular feeding. Space plants to allow airflow. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering.
Care tips
Keep soil consistently moist but well‑drained, feeding with a balanced rose fertiliser monthly during the growing season. Remove spent flowers and thin out any crossing stems in spring to maintain airflow and plant health. Regular checks for common pests and diseases like blackspot and aphids will help keep the plant flourishing.
Winter care
Protect the root zone with a thick mulch in late autumn and consider informal winter shelter for potted specimens. Prune in late winter once frost risk has passed.
