Success With Roses

Everyone Loves Roses!

• Roses perform best in a full sun situation. 
• Although roses are best suited in heavier soils, they will grow well in any well-drained soil, enriched with compost or peat moss.
• Roses require regular feeding as it is essential for growth and flowering. 
• Add Magamp a particularly good slow release fertilizer product at the time of planting.
• Spraying a preventative (before any problems arise) – use oil and copper in winter following pruning.  During the growing season use a fungicide/insecticide combination.
• Mulching is necessary to retain soil moisture during summer.
• Removal of spent blooms or dead-heading is important to enable new growth and allow the rose bush to bloom again.
