The Carbeth Plants Rose Bush 'Mundi' is an ideal choice for gardeners seeking a historic, fragrant shrub that offers a unique visual display with its crimson, pink, and white striped blooms.

FAQs
How large will the 'Mundi' rose grow?
It typically reaches a height and spread of 0.5 to 1 metre.
When should I prune my rose bush?
Pruning should be carried out annually between October and March while the plant is dormant.
Can I plant this in a spot where I previously had a rose?
It is not recommended unless you replace the soil to a depth of at least 45cm to avoid replant disease.
Does it need full sun?
Yes, it thrives best in full sun conditions to produce the most fragrant and vibrant blooms.
Will my plant arrive with flowers?
Not necessarily; your rose bush may not be in flower at the time of dispatch depending on the season.
Troubleshooting
Plant looks bare upon arrival
This is normal if purchased between October and March, as plants are cut back annually to ensure long-term health.
Flowers are not blooming
Ensure the plant is receiving adequate full sun and verify that the soil is nutrient-rich; also check if the plant is in its dormant phase.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 'Mundi' rose thrives, select a planting site that has not hosted roses in the past to minimize the risk of replant disease. If you must plant in an existing rose bed, replace the soil to a depth of at least 45cm. Dig a hole twice the size of the 3-litre pot provided, mix in organic matter, and position the root ball so the graft union is level with the soil surface. Annual maintenance involves cutting the bush back between October and March while the plant is dormant; this helps maintain shape, removes dead wood, and encourages vigorous growth for the coming season.
