Watering

Fertilizing

Balanced perennial feed every four weeks spring through summer growth

Pruning

Remove dead, diseased and crossing stems. For hybrid tea roses, shorten strong shoots to four to six buds, about 10–15 cm above the base. For floribundas, leave strong stems longer, about 25–30 cm above the soil. Prune in late winter or early spring as growth resumes.

Propagation

For home use, 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. 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
