Rose 'Madame Isaac Pereire'

Madame Isaac Perrier has long rather heavy open growth and is best trained as a climber . This does not have to be against a wall, as it can be successfully looped over hazel to make a free standing shape.
Feed twice a year early spring as the rose starts into growth and mid summer after the first flush of flowers. Scrape back the soil under the bush and sprinkle on a handful of blood fish and bone. Work in carefully, avoiding damage to the roots that run close to the surface
Dead head frequently to promote new buds
Train in vigorous new growth as it is produced later in the summer. Prune and retrain in the autumn and winter. Remove dead damaged and diseased wood first. If two stems compete too closely or cross, remove the oldest completely. Shorten side shoots on chosen structural branches to two buds.

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Madame Isaac Pereire is generally regarded as a hardy plant, so this plant will grow or become dormant during the winter. Madame Isaac Pereire needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 6.5 (weakly acidic soil).

Not usually grown from seed but grafted onto a root stock. Also easy from semi ripe cuttings with a heel in the summer or hard wood cuttings taken in the autumn
Roses can be grown from seed and this method is used to investigate possible new varieties

This is a tall Bourbon rose that can be treated as a climber or grown up a post
Bare root roses are established in the dormant season. Dig a hole wide enough to fit all the roots and deep enough to cover the graft union by about 5cm. Back fill with the addition of well rotted manure or blood fish and bone. Firm in and water well
Container grown roses can be planted at any time of year but take longer to establish and need careful watering during the first season in dry weather

Madame Isaac Pereire is hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
