Setup, Compatibility & Care
When planting your new Sun Flare rose, choose a location with well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. It is vital to avoid planting this rose in areas where previous roses have grown, as this can lead to 'rose sickness' due to depleted soil nutrients or lingering pathogens.
- Preparation: Dig a hole twice the width of the 3-litre pot and deep enough to match the existing soil level.
- Planting: Carefully remove the bush from the pot, loosen the roots gently, and position it in the center of the hole.
- Backfilling: Fill with a mix of garden soil and compost, firming the ground gently around the base.
- Watering: Ensure the plant is watered thoroughly immediately after planting and keep the soil moist during its first growing season.
- Maintenance: Feed with a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring to support the lush, glossy leaves and flower production.
