Rose 'Monica'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Monica is thought of as hardy, 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). Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.5 and 6.5 as Monica likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

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 Monica about 35 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Monica is a hardy plant.
