To get the most out of your ‘Sweet Siluetta’ Rambling Rose, plant it in a position of full sun, in moist but well drained soil. It will tolerate partial shade, but planting it in full sun ensures that you will enjoy the best floral display. Try to find a sheltered spot as this will protect the blooms so that they stay looking at their best for longer.
