Top Tips

Care Information

Planting Advice for your Climbing Rose Collection:

• Roses can be planted at any time of the year, as long as the soil is not frozen, waterlogged or drought-dry.
  Plant your rose where it can get plenty of sun for at least half of the day, and where it will be sheltered from the wind.
• Roses tolerate a wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, so add plenty of well-rotted manure into the hole if necessary and plant so that the graft union (the swollen area when the stems meet the roots) is around 3cm below soil level.
• Water well every other day - daily if the weather is hot and dry.

Rose Aftercare Advice:

• Established roses can be watered around once a week through spring and summer - more if the weather is hot.
• For best results, feed roses in late March/April and again in late July.

How to Prune Roses:

• To prune, just remove any dead, dying, damaged and diseased stems and also deadhead regularly.
• Height can be restricted by cutting back any branches or shoots that are over-long.
• Traditionally, you would cut just above a leaf joint with a sloping cut away from the bud, however, this isn't necessary, and don’t worry about pruning too much - roses are very resilient and will grow back.
• When pruning, make sure that your secateurs are clean and sharp to prevent squashing stems and introducing disease.
