Watering

Thorough base watering after top soil dries, keep rose leaves fully dry

Fertilizing

Standard balanced rose fertilizer applied monthly spring to autumn

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; propagate by seed; species roses can be propagated by seed but need stratification and germination may take two seasons

Growing

Grow in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in full sun, in a warm sheltered position. Best suited to southern counties and inner city locations, can be grown in a container and overwintered in a greenhouse in colder areas. 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
