Plant Theory Flower Carpet Scarlet Rose Bush Masses Of Red Flowers 4L Pot

This easy-to-grow groundcover produces abundant flowers from July to September and thrives in full sun with fertile, moist, well-drained soil. Known for disease resistance and drought tolerance once established, this variety features vibrant red blooms. These field-grown roses are potted in late autumn to maintain hydration, though they do not develop new roots until spring. For successful planting, choose a frost-free period and dig a hole twice the width of the roots. Incorporate composted matter and use a general-purpose fertiliser alongside a root developer, especially in areas where roses have previously grown. Position the bud union at soil level, back-fill the hole, and firm the soil before watering. Continue to water generously until established, applying a specialist fertiliser and a mulch of composted farmyard manure each spring, ensuring the mulch does not touch the stems.
