Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Royal William rose thrives, proper site selection is essential. Choose a location with full sun exposure and fertile, well-draining soil. Critically, avoid planting in "rose-sick" soil—spots where other roses have been grown previously—as this can lead to poor growth. Our bushes are pruned back between September and April to ensure a strong structural foundation for the coming season; do not be alarmed if your rose arrives in a dormant state. Regular water and occasional feeding during the growing season will help maintain the plant's vigor. Always keep the area around the base clear of debris to promote good air circulation.
