Position in
the GardenThis rose thrives in full sun—ideally in a border or generously sized container—where it can enjoy at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.
Planting guide
Position in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost. In containers, use quality free-draining mix and feed monthly while flowering. Ensure good air circulation. Regular deadheading encourages repeat blooms.
Care tips
Maintain evenly moist yet well-drained soil and apply a balanced rose fertiliser monthly during the growing season. Remove spent blooms to promote continuous flowering and prune lightly in early spring to open up the centre for better airflow and plant health.
Winter care
Mulch the base in late autumn for root protection; prune in late winter or early spring once frost danger has passed to remove deadwood and maintain shape.
