Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best start, plant your 1-litre container specimen in fertile, well-drained soil during the spring or autumn months. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball, ensuring the graft union is level with the soil surface, and water thoroughly after planting. Once established, this rose is relatively drought-tolerant but will benefit from deep watering during prolonged dry spells. While it is naturally tidy, a light trim in late winter can help rejuvenate growth for the coming season. Ensure the surrounding area is kept clear of invasive weeds during the first year to allow the rose to establish its root system fully.
