Rose 'Wisley 2008'

Feed roses just as they start into growth in the spring and again after the first flush of flowers. Use blood fish and bone, scraped in carefully around the plant. Prune when dormant, removing dead and diseased wood and crossing stems. Reduce length of remaining stems by a half to a third

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Wisley 2008 is thought of as hardy, so this plant will survive close to or on freezing temperatures.

Roses are generally grafted, but can be grown from cuttings

Plant out into well prepared ground. Remove weeds, hoe and add composted manure or well rotted garden compost. Dig a hole for the rose so that the graft is just under the surface and fill in with a misture of earth and compost firm in and water well during the first year

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Wisley 2008 is a hardy plant.

Expect harvests to start to occur in mid summer.

It is names after RHS Wisley in Surrey UK. One of the show gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society. 2008 is an improved, more healthy rose
