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 fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in full sun. For best flowering apply a balanced fertiliser and mulch in late winter or early spring; apply the fertiliser again in early summer - see rose cultivation. Good for cut flowers, tolerant of poor soils and suitable for hedging
