This plant flourishes in full sun, requiring at least six hours of direct sunlight each day, and thrives best in well-drained, fertile soil. Regular watering is crucial, particularly during dry spells, while care should be taken to prevent waterlogging. Pruning in early spring is recommended to eliminate dead or weak stems and to shape the plant, fostering healthy growth and abundant flowering.
Growing Information
Plant bareroot roses at the earliest opportunity following delivery. To avoid the risk from the build-up of harmful soil organisms and disease, choose an open position in full sun that has not been planted with roses in recent years. Roses enjoy a rich, fertile, well drained soil. Dig in plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost to the soil prior to planting roses and add a small handful of granular fertiliser to the planting hole.
