Fertilizing

Rose feed in spring and after each major flush

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 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. Ideal for informal hedging
