Fertilizing

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

Pruning

Remove dead or diseased branches, secure useful new stems to supports, and shorten flowered sideshoots by about two-thirds. Carry out routine pruning in winter after flowering has finished.

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 in a warm sheltered position. 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
