CULTURAL NOTES SITUATION Roses do best in an open sunny spot in well drained soil. Grown in shady areas they are more prone to fungal attack and will have less flowers. SOIL Best soils are medium to heavy clay loams, but roses can be successfully grown in many soil types with some extra attention. In sandy soils, the addition of large quantities of compost and animal manure will be beneficial. An annual layer of mulch will do much to replenish the soil, reduce the need for summer watering and minimise weeds. PLANTING Do not plant into old soil where roses have been dug out, renew with fresh soil and compost. Prepare the area well prior to planting. When planting in shallow soils do not dig the holes too deep, rather raise the level of the beds to ensure good drainage. Dig a hole sufficiently large enough to take the roots, which should be placed downwards and outwards over a small mound of soil on the bottom of the hole. A hole about 20-25 cm deep and wide will normally be sufficient. We suggest adding Plants Plus Rose Food to the soil and mix well. Ensure the graft or bud union of bush and climbing roses remains about 5cm above soil level. Water in well with PLANT STARTER and firm the soil gently. PLANT STARTER stimulates root growth and mini-mises transplant shock. Apply weekly for 3-4 weeks. SPACING Hybrid Tea Bush Average 1 metre apart Floribunda Average 0.6-1 metre Standards Average 1.3 metres Climbing Average 2.5-5 metres David Austin Average 1 metre Whilst Chandlers Nursery will take every possible precaution to ensure that our roses are true to name and label, we cannot be responsible for errors outside our control. We will cheerfully undertake to replace wrongly labelled roses where possible, or to substitute if necessary. To ensure as wide a range of roses as possible for our customers we order our plants from a number of different suppliers. Therefore the availability of all roses listed in this catalogue is subject to delivery by our suppliers and such deliveries will occur intermittently from early May through to the end of July. If there is a variety of rose that you require and is not listed on our catalogue please enquire as we may be able to obtain it from one of our suppliers.
