Fertilizing

Rose feed in spring and after each major flush

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

Grows best in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in a sunny, open position. Mulch in late winter and, to improve flowering, apply a balanced fertiliser in late winter or early spring - see rose cultivation
