FAQs

What is the best time of year to plant this rose?

This rose is supplied ready to plant and can be planted out at any time of year, provided the ground is not frozen. Spring and autumn are generally ideal planting times.

How often should I water this rose?

Water regularly, especially during the first year and during dry spells. Aim for consistently moist soil. Reduce watering in winter unless conditions are very dry.

Does this rose have a strong scent?

The Harkness Rose 'Pearl Wedding 30th Anniversary' has a delicate scent.

Can this rose be grown indoors?

This rose is an outdoor garden plant and is not suitable for growing indoors. It requires ample sunlight and space.

What does 'repeat flowering' mean?

Repeat flowering means the rose will produce blooms multiple times throughout the growing season, typically from early summer until the first frosts, rather than just a single flush of flowers.

How large does this rose bush grow?

As a bush rose, it will typically grow to a medium size, suitable for beds, borders, and larger pots. Specific mature size can vary based on conditions and pruning, but it forms a good bushy shape.

Troubleshooting

Rose is not flowering

Ensure the rose is receiving adequate sunlight, water, and nutrients. Prune appropriately in late winter/early spring. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers.

Yellowing leaves

This can indicate a lack of nutrients (especially iron) or overwatering. Check soil moisture and consider a feed with a rose fertilizer or a liquid iron supplement if necessary.

Wilting leaves

Check if the plant is receiving enough water, especially during hot weather or if planted in a container. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Aphid infestation

Gently wash off aphids with a strong jet of water or use an insecticidal soap. Encourage natural predators like ladybirds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Planting:

  1. Choose Location: Select a sunny spot (at least 6 hours of sun daily) with well-drained soil. If planting in a pot, use a container at least 40cm in diameter with good drainage holes.
  2. Prepare Hole: Dig a hole twice the width and depth of the pot the rose is currently in.
  3. Soak Plant: Gently remove the rose from its 4-litre pot. If the roots are tightly bound, gently tease them apart. Soak the root ball in water for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Position and Backfill: Place the rose in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill with soil or a mix of soil and compost, firming gently.
  5. Water Thoroughly: Water the newly planted rose generously.

Care:

  • Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods and when the plant is establishing. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
  • Feeding: Feed with a balanced rose fertilizer in spring and again in early summer according to product instructions.
  • Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches and to maintain shape. Aim to encourage an open, vase-like structure.
  • Deadheading: Remove spent blooms regularly to encourage further flowering.
  • Pest & Disease Control: Monitor for common rose pests like aphids and diseases like black spot. Treat promptly if issues arise.
