Blooms for mood and ambience

Choose a spot in the garden that receives full sun to part-shade and is well-drained. Enrich the soil with Yates Dynamic Lifter Organic Plant Food.

Dig the planting hole twice as wide and to the same depth as the root-ball. Remove the shrub from the container and gently tease the roots.

Position in hole and backfill with soil, gently firming down. Form a raised or doughnut-shaped ring of soil around the outer edge of the plant’s root zone. This helps keep water where it’s needed. Always water in well after planting with diluted Yates Thrive Natural Seaweed Tonic to settle the soil around the roots and help reduce transplant shock.

Mulch around the base with organic mulch like bark chips, woodchip or pea straw, keeping it away from the base of the plant.

Feed throughout the season with Yates Thrive Rose & Flower Granular Plant Food.

Choose a pot at least 200mm wide and deep. Position in full sun to part shade.

Fill the chosen pots with quality potting mix, such as Yates Premium Potting Mix.

Remove the shrub from the container and gently tease the roots.

Position in hole and backfill with potting mix, gently firming down. Water in well.

Feed during the season with Yates Thrive Roses & Flowers Liquid Plant Food.

Remove spent blooms to encourage further flowering.

Plants will grow in full sun, however, you will get a more intense flower colour when grown in part shade.
