Spring Care

Feeding your English roses is one of the simplest yet most rewarding tasks to encourage strong, healthy growth and abundant flowering. Understanding the right type of feed and how to use it will ensure that your roses are at their most vibrant and floriferous when summer arrives. By choosing and using the right feed for your roses, you can help them thrive, filling your garden with lush foliage and exquisite blooms.

Bare root roses are excellent plants for growing in pots. English Roses, with their shrubby, bushy habit are ideal for growing in large pots and containers. Unlike many other potted plants, English Roses will flower in fragrant flushes throughout the summer and into autumn.

By following these simple steps, you will ensure your bare root climbing rose gets off to the best possible start.

The best time to plant bare root roses is during their dormant period, typically between late autumn and early spring. Planting during this time allows the roots to establish before the growing season begins.

Mulching is the addition of a protective layer around the base of your roses. This process helps your roses to retain moisture, suppresses weeds and provides valuable nutrients for your roses as they grow.
