Key Features Height & Spread 80cm x 60cm. Position Will thrive in most well drained soils, on an open sunny site. Planting Water thoroughly or stand container in water for an hour before planting. Dig a hole twice the size of the pot, mix compost & fertiliser with the soil from the hole, remove pot, place plant in the hole so that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil, back fill & firm down to prevent air pockets. Water well after planting & for the first growing season. Aftercare Roses benefit from a mulch of organic material, around the base of the plant after planting. This keeps in moisture, prevents weeds & adds nutrients to the soil. Dead heading Remove spent flowers after flowering, this will encourage repeat flowering. Pruning Lightly prune in autumn to prevent wind rock over winter. In spring prune down to good, strong, outward facing buds to produce an open wine glass shaped frame, to allow lots of light & air movement into & around the plant. Feed in spring after pruning & again in midsummer, with a general rose fertiliser.
