How to care for your rose
Rosa ‘Wildfire’ will grow best in a sunny but sheltered position, in any moist but free draining soil. Add mycorrhizal fungi when planting your rose to encourage strong root growth and a layer of manure for nutrients. Remember to regularly deadhead the spent blooms to encourage new buds to form and extend its flowering season.
