Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This rose is supplied as an established plant in a 4-litre pot, ready for planting. Choose a location that receives adequate sunlight. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the root ball and plant the rose at the same depth it was in its pot.
Compatibility:
- Soil: Prefers well-drained soil. Can be planted directly into garden beds or suitable large containers.
- Sunlight: Requires a position with good sun exposure for optimal flowering.
- Companion Planting: Blends well with other flowering perennials and shrubs in borders or mixed containers.
Care:
- Watering: Water thoroughly, especially during the first growing season, to help the plant establish. Maintain consistent moisture, particularly during dry spells.
- Feeding: Apply a balanced rose fertilizer in spring and again in summer to support continuous blooming and healthy growth.
- Pruning: Prune lightly in winter to maintain shape and encourage strong flowering. Remove any dead or damaged wood.
- Seasonal Changes: Be aware that the rose will naturally lose its leaves from October onwards as it enters dormancy for the winter. New leaves and buds will emerge in spring.
