Where to grow Bewitched Rose
Bewitched Rose suits warm-temperate, cool-temperate and Mediterranean climates and grows best in full sun. It is frost hardy and shrugs off cold winters. It also is an award-winning selection.
Soil & planting
Bewitched Rose does best in free-draining and loamy soil. Dig in plenty of compost before planting, water in well, and mulch to keep roots cool.
Watering & feeding
Bewitched Rose is regular, moderate watering. A feed in spring with a balanced fertiliser keeps growth strong. In its first year, water deeply once or twice a week to settle the roots in, then taper off as it establishes.
Pruning & care
Prune Bewitched Rose after flowering to keep it compact and encourage the next flush of blooms. Overall it is moderate maintenance.
Using Bewitched Rose in the garden
Bewitched Rose earns its place for a feature or specimen planting, cut flowers for the vase and its fragrance.
Companion planting & design
For a cohesive, low-care bed, pair Bewitched Rose with other plants that enjoy the same regular, moderate watering and warm-temperate climate. Group three or five together for impact rather than dotting single plants through the garden.
Good to know
