Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your rose thrives, follow these steps:
- Planting: Dig a hole twice the width of the 4-litre pot. Ensure the soil is nutrient-rich and well-draining. Avoid planting when the ground is frozen, waterlogged, or experiencing drought.
- Watering: Maintain consistent soil moisture. Increase frequency during hot, dry spells to prevent stress.
- Feeding: Apply a balanced rose fertilizer in late March or April to encourage spring growth, and again in late July to support the second flush of flowers.
- Pruning: Remove dead or crossing branches in early spring to encourage airflow and new growth.
