Gardens
just would not be complete without the magnificent
scented rose flowers and winter is a perfect time
to plant them.
POSITION
Roses love a full sun position and like room around
them so they don't become overcrowded. When planting
roses, make sure to leave about a 60cm space all
around them.
SOIL PREPARATION
Now the real trick for roses is in the soil preparation.
Roses love a rich organic soil. For best results
dig a hole and fill with Searles® Rose and Citrus
Compost. Plant your roses straight into this. You'll
be rewarded with stunning growth and magnificent
blooms.
FERTILISING
Roses need regular fertilising to keep producing
their glorious flowers. One great fertiliser recommended
and endorsed by the Qld Rose Society is Searles
Flourish® Soluble Plant Food. Apply Searles Flourish®
at planting and continue every 2-3 weeks.
Another marvellous fertiliser, which promotes strong
growth and helps protect roses from fungal diseases
is Searles® Fish & Kelp Plus. Ideally, you could
alternate between the two fertilisers every 2-3
weeks.
PRUNING
After each flush of flowering, be sure to prune
back the finished flowers, as this helps promote
more flowers. |
 |
So
for magnificent roses:
• Make sure they're in full sun
• Plant into Searles® Rose and Citrus Compost
• And fertilise every 2-3 weeks with Searles
Flourish®
and Searles® Fish & Kelp Plus. |
If
you do this, you will be rewarded with the most
magnificent scented rose flowers.
Happy Gardening with Searles from the
Searle family.
