Rosa 'May Queen' · Rosa 'May Queen'
Grow in full sun or partial shade, and moderately fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil. For best flowering apply a balanced fertiliser and mulch in late winter or early spring and a balanced fertiliser again in early summer. Suitable for ground cover and growing into large trees or on north walls. See rose cultivation for further advice
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.
