rose 'Goldfinch' · Rosa 'Goldfinch'
Grow in full sun with fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil. Tolerant of shade and north-facing situations and suited to poor soils. Mulch with well-rotted organic matter in late winter or early spring, and for best flowering apply a general rose or shrub fertiliser in early spring and again in early summer. See rose cultivation
On established plants filling their supports, remove about a third of the oldest stems and shorten sideshoots by about two-thirds; retain and secure replacement shoots. Prune in late summer after the display of flowers and hips.
