Planting guide

Choose a sunny or lightly shaded position with well-drained soil. Dig in compost when planting and space well to ensure good air circulation. Water regularly during dry spells in the first season.

Care tips

This rose is wonderfully low maintenance. Simply remove any dead or overcrowded stems in early spring, and feed with compost or a rose-specific fertiliser at the start of the growing season. It rarely requires hard pruning and benefits from an annual mulch.

Winter care

Requires minimal attention in winter. Prune out dead wood in early spring and mulch around the base to protect roots and suppress weeds.
