Watering

Deep root watering, allow slight surface drying before watering again

Fertilizing

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

Pruning

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.

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 or partial shade. Ideal grown through a large, established tree. 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
