How to care for your rose
To get the best from your ‘Sweet Romantica’ rose, plant it in a sunny spot in moist, but free draining soil. Keep it well-watered throughout the flowering season and add fertiliser in spring. Regularly deadhead any spent blooms to encourage new buds to form and prune it back in January or February.
