ROSE CARE 

Planting 

Roses like sun for at least onethird 

of the day, and air movement 

although they dislike strong winds. 

Deep digging helps drainage and 

aeration and loosens the soil 

for easy root penetration. Mix in 

Oderings Compost to improve 

the condition of the soil and add a 

handful or two of Oderings ‘Blood 

& Bone’. Dig the hole large enough 

to create a mound in the bottom so 

that the roots can be spread over 

it, and ensure it is deep enough for 

the graft to sit just above the soil. 

Do not apply any other fertiliser at 

this stage as direct contact with 

fertiliser can kill tender new roots. 

Remember to keep your rose wellwatered 

for the first six months as 

it becomes established. 

Pruning 

Pruning roses is often thought to 

be difficult, but with know-how, it 

isn’t. Rose flowers are produced 

on new season’s growth, so by 

cutting out dead, diseased wood 

and reducing the stems by about 

a half you will get new solid growth 

and lots of flowers produced in 

spring. The later you prune, the 

faster the regrowth and sealing of 

the wounds. Ensure you always 

use sharp, clean secateurs to 

prevent the spread of disease. 

As a guideline, prune between 

one-third and half of the growth on 

bush roses and half of the growth 

for floribunda. Remove all spindly, 

weak, or intertwining branches, 

especially those that rub against 

one another or are too crowded. 

Always cut on an angle just above 

a bud that points in the direction 

you wish the stem to grow. You 

should aim for 3–5 healthy canes 

per plant. Standard roses are cut 

in the same manner as bush roses, 

cutting each stem to an outward 

growth to maintain a beautiful 

shape. Climbing roses are pruned 

quite differently; you can prune 

lightly in winter and give them 

their main pruning after flowering 

(spring/summer), removing old and 

dead canes and shortening what 

remains. 

Spraying 

spraying roses, we need to 

consider whether the roses are 

dormant or if they are in their 

growing season. If the roses are 

dormant or are heading into 

dormancy, please see the brochure 

‘Winter Spraying’. If your roses have 

leaves and are actively growing, 

you need to take a different 

approach. Roses can get diseases 

or insects, so the best advice is to 

come in and see one of our friendly 

staff with a sample of your problem 

plant to ensure you use the correct 

product. When spraying, it’s best to 

do so early in the morning or later 

in the evening to stop the leaves 

from burning. Plants with a dry root 

zone are also prone to leaf burn, so 

ensure your plants are well watered 

the night before. Most sprays 

need six hours of drying time to be 

effective. 

Fertiliser 

Winter is the optimum time to throw 

some garden lime or dolomite 

lime around to keep your soil 

sweet, but do not apply any other 

fertilisers until mid-August, as the 

plants cannot use it while they are 

dormant, and the fertiliser will only 

get washed away by winter rains. 

After August, add half a cup of 

fertiliser to each rose and reapply at 

three monthly intervals (excluding 

winter). Deep digging helps 

drainage and aeration and loosens 

the soil for easy root penetration. 


Mix in Oderings Compost to 

improve the condition of the 

soil and add a handful or two of 

Oderings’ Blood & Bone’. If you’re 

replacing an old rose, it’s well 

worth the effort to dig out the old 

soil too, replacing it with fresh 

new soil and compost to give the 

new rose a kick-start. Dig the 

hole large enough to create a 

mound in the bottom so that the 

roots can be spread over it, and 

ensure it is deep enough for the 

graft to sit just above the soil. Do 

not apply fertiliser at this stage, 

as direct contact with fertiliser 

can kill tender new roots. Space 

your plants about a metre apart, 

slightly more for very vigorous 

varieties, and two metres apart 

for climbers. Remember to keep 

your rose well-watered for the 

first six months as it becomes 

established. 

Cut Flowers 

To enjoy your rose as a cut 

flower, cut to a five-leaflet leaf, 

always on an angle with clean, 

sharp secateurs to encourage 

another bloom to follow. Try to 

pick your roses in the evening 

or first thing in the morning 

while they are still fresh. Do not 

cut the stems any longer than 

required, as this deprives the 

plant of nutrients. After cutting 

each stem, hold each one under 

water while you re-cut a few 

millimetres from the base; this 

ensures that no airlock remains 

in the stem that prevents water 

uptake. Fill a bucket with water 

and place inside somewhere 

cool out of direct sunlight, then 

plunge each stem up to the top 

of the stem for a few hours to 

condition, or leave overnight if 

you prefer. When placing in a 

vase, add a sachet of crystal 

flower nourishment and fill your 

vase close to the top with water 

to provide humidity. Change the 

water regularly and keep roses 

out of direct sunlight.
