Step by step

1

Prune back as required – heavily for mature or overgrown shrubs, or lightly for young or well-shaped shrubs. Trim anywhere along the stem.

2

Always remove any foliage remaining on the plant that has stayed put all winter. Diseases can lie dormant in leaves and a ack again.

3

Trim off all dead, diseased, dying or damaged stems. This makes for a healthier, be er-looking plant and removes the risk of disease.

4

From spring, spread ro ed manure around your roses. Then feed with shrub and rose granules every few weeks up until late summer.
