Roses

Usually roses don't tend to flower until later in the month and throughout summer. Gardens, including those at St Bridget Nurseries, are already seeing roses in full bloom. Roses need plenty of feeding if they're to produce dramatic displays, so give them a diet of granular rose fertiliser. A feed now and then another in mid-July should bring a profusion of perfect blooms. Check regularly for pests, blackspot and other diseases and treat appropriately. You can pick up all you need for a local garden centre like St Bridget Nurseries.
