Rose (patio)
'Mother's Day'

A compact rose with clusters of deep red double flowers. Ideal for patio pots, the front of a border or planting in a small garden.

Height & Spread: 50 x 50cm
Flowering Season: June - August
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.
