Planting guide

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny spot. Space at least 1 m from other plants for good airflow. Water deeply during dry periods, and mulch after planting to conserve moisture. Feed with a balanced rose fertiliser in spring and mid-summer to support healthy, repeat blooms.

Care tips

Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. After flowering, remove spent blooms to encourage further flushes. Apply a rose feed in spring and midsummer and prune in late winter to maintain shape and health while encouraging strong new growth.

Winter care

Prune in late winter, removing old, weak or crossing stems and shaping the plant. Apply mulch to the base to help insulate the roots during colder months.
