This repeat flowering climbing rose looks lovely displayed against a sunny wall. Best on fertile, moist, well drained soil, it produce several flushes of beautifully shaped blooms, renowned for their superior scent. All our roses are grown in an open field and then dug up when the weather conditions are right in October or November. Some suppliers send out their roses as aposbare rootapos plants ie without pots or compost, but we pot ours up as it helps to keep the roots hydrated and in good condition. As they are dormant throughout the winter, they will not produce any new roots until spring, so donapost be surprised if the compost falls away from the roots when you take them out of their pots. The roses can be kept in their pots throughout the winter provided they are kept well fed and watered, however ideally they should planted out as soon as possible. They will already have been cut back so no further pruning will be required, apart from snipping off any tips that have died back. Routine pruning can begin in late winter the year after planting. Garden care If planting in winter, choose a frost free spell when the soil is not frozen. Roses are quite deep rooted plants so dig a deep hole roughly twice as wide as the plants roots and mix in a generous amount of composted organic matter. A top dressing of a general purpose fertiliser can be worked into the surrounding soil and we also recommend using Rose Rootgrow at this stage to encourage better root development. This is particularly important when planting into a bed where roses have previously been grown as Rose Rootgrow is said to combat rose sickness aka. replant disease. Before planting you will also need to make sure that there is adequate support for the rose to grow onto. Remove the plants from their pots and gently spread out the roots before placing them in the centre of the hole. Try to ensure that the aposbud unionapos the point where the cultivated rose has been grafted onto the rootstock, and from where the shoots emerge is at soil level. You can judge this quite easily by laying
