Fertilizing

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

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

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 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. Suited to container cultivation. See rose cultivation
