How to plant & care for roses.
Roses are in generally easy care plants once they are established. However, like all newly planted flowers or plants they're vulnerable and need regular watering and attention until fully established.
Winter is the best season to plant roses, when they are dormant and bare root. Here are some tips on how to prepare and care for roses.
Plant roses.
How to care for your roses.
Fertilise in spring, summer & autumn.
We recommend Searles 5 in 1, Sudden impact for roses or Searles Rose Food.
Cut your roses back each winter.
Each winter you should cut your roses by about a third. Don't do it too early otherwise you will get new growth that will die a few weeks later. Start of July, not earlier for pruning.
Always cut at an angle and never when it is about to rain. The more water, the easier infections and diseases will attack your roses. When cutting back, spray with Lime sulphur at least twice to help prevent dieback.
Common diseases in roses.
Dieback
The blackening of the tip of the rose stem which will then travel toward the graft. Cut off the affected area and use Lime sulphur to prevent it to come back. Prevent dieback when you trim your roses by spraying Lime sulphur.
Fungal diseases.
We recommend to spray with Rose shield or Rose Gun which both are all purpose insecticide and fungus controlling products.
