Dawson’s Rose Growing Guide WATERING

Rootstock

• Use plenty of water to compact the soil and give plants a flying start. Soil wetting agents allow water to penetrate into water repellant sandy soils. Apply in Spring and mid Summer. Water daily in summer months.

One of the main virtues of grafting onto Fortuniana Rootstock is its vigour and hardiness. If you see bright green foliage appearing from below the graft of the plant, with a leaf shape as illustrated, simply break it off and discard.

STAKING & TRAINING

Common Diseases

Before starting make sure pruning tools are clean and sharp. • Hybrid tea roses, miniatures and floribunda roses, can simply be cut back to half of their original height, using secateurs, loppers or even hedge shears. • Then tidy up by removing any diseased older wood, crossing branches or branches growing into the centre of the bush.

• Standards and Weeping Standards will • Without full sunshine Roses require a permanent and strong stake may develop ‘Black Spot’ and for support. ‘Powdery Mildew’. • Weeping Roses can be trained by using a • Avoid overhead watering and watering ‘rose hoop’.

Environmentally friendly sprays are available at Dawsons. • Later, feed at 6 weekly intervals from spring to autumn. Pruning the easy way

SPRING

SEPT

OCT

David Austin rose bushes are best pruned by removing one third of their original height each winter. • Climbing Roses should be pruned and trained to restrict them from growing straight up. This is best done by tying new canes to a horizontal position or by arching into a fan shape. • Weeping Standard Roses and Shrub Roses are best clipped and shaped with hedge shears. This can be done continuously after each flowering.

The object of pruning is to shape the bush and promote new blooms. Pruning is done every year in winter while plants are dormant, before new spring growth appears.

For best results follow these easy growing hints.

Because Dawson Roses are grown in pots, you can confidently plant them into your garden at any time of the year. 1) Before planting, water the Rose in its pot. 2) In a sunny location, dig a hole 60cm wide and 45 - 60cm deep. 3) Mix Dawson’s Garden World Organic Soil Improver with the soil from the hole at a rate of 1 part Soil Improver and 2 parts soil from the hole. Return enough of this mix to the hole to achieve the correct height for the new plant. 4) Take the rose out of it’s pot, leaving the root ball intact and place in hole. Add 1 tablespoon of slow release fertiliser around the rootball. 5) Return more of the mix around the plant until the soil is level, add mulch Leaving a 15cm clearance around the stem. Water in well, ensuring the root zone is thoroughly saturated. 6) Use any left over soil to make a shallow well around the plant, this will help retain and direct water to the root system.

• Use mulch applied to the soil at a depth of 5cm leaving a 15cm bare circle around the main stem. Never heap mulch or soil up around the stem.
