Advice from our agronomist
Planting Plant in spring (May) or autumn (September) in a sunny, airy, sheltered spot with fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil; sites with standing water are unsuitable. Dig a hole about 40–50 cm deep, mix the soil with compost and plant so the graft union sits 3–5 cm below soil level; water generously. Space plants 1–1.5 m apart.
Watering Water less often but generously (10–15 l per plant), at the roots and preferably in the morning – leaves should not stay wet, which helps prevent leaf spot and powdery mildew. Mulch the soil with compost or bark.
Pruning Prune lightly: in spring remove dead and old shoots and thin the bush; rejuvenate old bushes every few years. Do not deadhead if you want hips.
Feeding and winter care Feed in spring with a rose fertiliser and repeat in late June – July; stop nitrogen in mid-August and give a potassium-rich fertiliser so the shoots ripen before winter. Very hardy and usually needs no cover; protect a young plant in its first winter with mulch and spruce boughs.
