How to care for your rose
To get the best blooms from your David Austin Harlow Carr shrub rose, plant it with Mycorrhizal Fungi to help the roots establish and encourage good plant health. We also recommend regularly feeding, once in late March/early April and again in July with Rose Food. Throughout its flowering season regularly deadhead the spent blooms to encourage new buds to form.
