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 hardwood cuttings in autumn, softwood cuttings (under glass) in spring or summer or by chip budding in summer

Growing

Grow in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in full sun or part shade - tolerant of north facing situations and ideal for growing into trees. 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
