Rose 'Pirouette'

Prune in spring. Climbing roses need to establish a frame work with horizontal laterals. Holding the stems horizontal promotes the side shoots to grow and it is on these that buds are formed. Branches that are allowed to grow vertically will only flower at their tips, often too high to be appreciated.. Once the framework is established prune secondary growth back to two or three buds along the length of the horizontal laterals. the flower buds will grow from here. Every few years remove the oldest of the frame work stems and replace by tying in a suitable new freshly grown stem made that season from the base of the plant
Mulch soil reduces the need to weed frequently and preserves moisture in the soil during the growing season
Fertiliser with blood fish and bone in spring as the plant starts into growth and again in late summer after the first flush of flowers. Scrape back some of the surface soil around the base of the stems, sprinkle on a handful of blood fish and bone, work in taking care not to damage the roots that run close to the surface
Remove old flowers to encourage repeat blooms

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Pirouette is generally regarded as a hardy plant, so it can be safe to leave outdoors for the majority of winter (although if in doubt, using a row cover is often a good idea). Pirouette needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 6.5 (weakly acidic soil).

Roses are not usually grown from seed as they do not grow true to the parent plant. Roses can grow from seed but it is more usually to select potential new varieties.
Roses can be grown from cuttings of semi ripe wood in mid summer or hard wood cuttings taken in the late autumn
Commercially, roses are grafted onto rootstock

Aim to sow 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 3.96 feet (1.22 metres).

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Pirouette about 35 days before your last frost date.

Open sunny position free draining soil, with enough room for its arching semi short climbing growth.
Bare root roses are established in the dormant season. Dig a hole wide enough to take all the roots without bending them and deep enough to cover the graft union by about 3 cm. Backfill adding blood fish and bone firm in and water.
Container grown roses can be planted out at any time of year but will need careful watering particularly in the first growing season. Bare root roses establish more quickly and are more independent than container grown stock

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

Good long lasting cut flower

This variety tends to mature and be ready for harvest in mid summer.
