Watering

Deep root watering, allow slight topsoil drying before repeat irrigation

Fertilizing

Rose bloom fertilizer every two to four weeks spring through late summer

Pruning

Most groundcover roses need only light pruning. Remove dead, diseased and weak shoots; trim excessive growth according to the shrub or spreading type. Shrub types may be pruned as growth resumes in late winter; shorten spreading types after flowering in summer.

Propagation

For home use, propagate by hardwood cuttings in autumn, softwood cuttings (under glass) in spring or summer or by chip budding in summer

Growing

Grow in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in full sun or part shade. Tolerant of north-facing positions. 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
