This guide is for gardeners looking to add unique, artistic flair to their vertical spaces. Oliver's Rose offers a season-long display of multi-toned, swirled blooms and glossy foliage, providing continuous colour and attracting beneficial insects. A caveat to consider is that the plant naturally loses its leaves from October to prepare for winter, but will regrow in spring.

The best time to plant is typically in spring or autumn when the soil is moist and temperatures are moderate. However, as it's supplied as an established plant, it can be planted at other times, provided care is taken to keep it well-watered, especially during dry spells.
This climbing rose reaches approximately 250cm (around 8 feet) in height.

This can be due to various factors like overwatering, underwatering, or fungal diseases. Check soil moisture levels and improve air circulation. Remove affected leaves if disease is suspected.
This may indicate insufficient light or nutrients. Ensure it receives appropriate sunlight and feeding. Regular pruning can also encourage bushier growth.
Ensure consistent watering and feeding during the growing season. Check for any pests that might be hindering growth.
