English Roses

Modern day shrub roses, large flowered, fragrant & clustered flowers. When you have received your purchased roses, you will most likely find that if they have been sent during the dormant season they would have already been pruned hard back. If this is not the case you will need to do this before planting, to prevent wind rock. Roses are gross feeders, so it is essential to add humus to the soil prior to planting. Spent sterilized mushroom compost is ideal; mix this with your own soil. If planting in the autumn or early winter, add also two or three handfuls of bone meal and mix with soil in the bottom of the hole. If planting your rose in spring or summer use blood, fish and bone fertilizer which is more readily available to the plant. Quality Rose Plants delivered UK wide
