HANDY HINTS
FOR THE
HARD-PRESSED GARDENER
Tips for Summer
Roses
-
Train the stems of your climbing roses
horizontally for maximum flowering, otherwise all the roses will bloom
unseen at the top of the plant.
-
This is a good time to train the new young
stems while they are flexible. Keep deadheading throughout
summer to encourage generous flowering.
-
Put a swing seat in your garden next to a
highly scented rose – or vice versa! and bask in the perfume as you
swing away your cares of the day. Heaven!
-
Watch this space to see how to prune your
climbing roses in early spring so that you have lots of flowering shoots
that will clothe the plant from bottom to top next year.
