How to care for your rose
Robust and reliable to grow, simply plant your rose in a bright and sunny spot, in moist but free draining soil. When planting, sprinkle mycorrhizal fungi around the base to encourage strong root growth and apply well-rotted manure. Keep your rose well-watered until it is established and regularly deadhead to encourage new buds to form.
