Rose (floribunda)
'Poustinia'

An elegant rose with clusters of sweetly scented, creamy-white flowers that have a delicate light apricot centre. Good as a cut rose for bouquets.

Height & Spread: 80 x 50cm
Flowering Season: Summer - Autumn
Planting Position: Full Sun/Part Shade

Planting: Choose a sheltered area with rich, well-drained soil. Avoid areas where roses have been planted before. Mix plenty of fertiliser into the soil as you dig a hole that will comfortably hold the root ball.

Care: Water regularly in dry weather and apply rose feed once a month. Spray with a mixture of tomato food, garlic juice and fungicide - ideally once a month. Cut back in winter removing around half the growth of the previous year. Dead or faded flowers should be removed to aid repeat flowering.
