Roses

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.

Shrub roses when grown for their decorative hips,are not deadheaded
