Hot Chocolate Rose just arrived

Good morning Scotkat my friend my apologies for not answering you earlier, I personally would suggest planting it now would be just fine,Make sure that it will get at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Roses grow well with bone meal I usually mix some with the soil that is going back in the hole, Make sure that everything is combined well.If you are putting in bare root rose plants, be sure to cut down the height of the canes to at least 8 inches, and removed any damaged or diseased roots. The pruning is necessary to promote growth, even if it seems a bit extreme.Hope this helps my friend

Hot Chocolate Floribunda/Repeat Flowering

 

If you use all that Concoction you will do more harm than good especially to the roots my friend:WINK1:

 

Good morning Scotkat,Dim,Cosmos Guy and Simbad ,I have just ordered one for my new Rose Garden,Thank you Scotkat I have decided to go with the amber/copper colour scheme.

 

Whoa, go steady on those application rates, that amount on my chalky soil would be slow death to any plant. Follow the application rate on the pack, some superphosphates are ‘triple’ strength by the way so even less volume is needed.

 

Good afternoon Scotkat my friend ,I usually put 4 ozs to a square metre in the spring, I never feed later in the summer as I think that this will promote late young soft growth which will be damaged by the first frost,only my opinion though:WINK1:

 

Hi Scotkat that,s a beautiful photo:yess:
