Prefer open sunny positions. Are hungry feeders, prepare beds well in advance with
incorporation of rotted manure or compost. In subsequent years fertilizer may be used as a
top dressing Roses can be stunted if planted in old rose beds without renewing the soil. Be prepared
to spray for perfect roses or take a more relaxed attitude to a blemish. Collect and burn
fallen rose leaves to aid disease prevention. On planting, shorten all stems to 4 buds.
In following years, maintain a framework of 4 to 6 main stems, reducing seasons growth to 3
buds for H.T. and 5 for Floribunda. Deadheading promotes new flowers. |
