Fertilizing

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

Pruning

Most groundcover roses need only light pruning. Remove dead, diseased and weak shoots; trim excessive growth according to the shrub or spreading type. Shrub types may be pruned as growth resumes in late winter; shorten spreading types after flowering in summer.

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 in full sun with fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil. For best flowering apply a balanced fertiliser and mulch in late winter or early spring and a balanced fertiliser again in early summer - see rose cultivation. Tolerant of poor soil and partial shade, suited to low informal hedging
