Rose (ground cover)
'Gartnerfreude'

Ground cover rose with glossy dark green foliage and clusters of double, cherry red flowers.

Height & Spread: 40cm x 60cm
Flowering Season: Summer - Autumn
Planting Position: Full sun

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.
