Top Tips
Add mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help the plant establish quicker.
Care Information
- Bare-root roses can be planted from autumn up to May, as long as the soil is not frozen, waterlogged or drought-dry.
- Plant your rose where it can get plenty of sun for at least half of the day, and where it will be sheltered from the wind.
- Add plenty of well-rotted manure into the hole and plant so that the graft union (the swollen are when the stems meet the roots) is just below soil level. Add mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help the plant establish quicker.
- Water well every other day - daily if the weather is hot and dry.
Established roses can be watered around once a week through spring and summer - more if the weather is hot. - For best results, feed roses in in late-March/April and again late July.
- To prune, just remove any dead, dying, damaged and diseased stems - don’t worry about pruning too much as roses are very resilient and will grow back.
