ADVICES

The plant is best planted in a sunny position, sheltered from wind. This rose requires fertile and free draining soil, ideally sandy and enriched with compost.
This rose does not require pruning, but formative or rejuvenating pruning could be carried out in late March or the beginning of April. Make the cuts above the outside facing buds. In order to protect against frost, in late autumn the root system should be covered with a mound of earth, sawdust or peat. To fertilize use an organic fertilizer.
