Watering

Fertilizing

Rose-specific fertilizer every few weeks during spring and summer growth

Pruning

Keep single-flowering shrub roses lightly pruned, removing dead, diseased, crossing and weak growth. Thin a few old unproductive stems if crowded. Prune in late summer after flowering.

Propagation

Propagate by softwood cuttings in early to mid spring, hardwood cuttings in late summer to autumn or by chip budding in summer

Growing

Grow in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in full sun or part shade. 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
