Roses are one of our firm favourites. Here we show you the best way to care for and maintain your roses.
Summer rose care
Read the transcript
Roses can flower through summer and well into autumn. Feed regularly according to the label. The video shows working a granular feed into the soil and watering it in, or using a soluble feed such as Flower Power, particularly for potted roses.
Deadhead as flowers fade. Remove the old flower and the developing hip behind it to encourage more blooms on repeat-flowering roses. If you grow a rose for its hips, leave the flowers to set fruit.
Check for pests and diseases so you can deal with problems early.
