How to grow Rose 'Kew gardens'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Feed twice a year, just as the rose starts into the growth in the spring and again after the first flush of blooms. Scrape back the surface soil under the bush and sprinkle on a handful of blood fish and bone work in carefully avoiding the roots that run close to the surface.
Deadhead frequently to promote fresh blooms

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Kew gardens is thought of as hardy, so Kew gardens will tend to go dormant or grow slowly over the winter months.

Growing Kew gardens from seed

Roses are not usually grown from seed, as they do not always come true to the parent plant. Rose can be grown from seed to explore potential new hybrids. However, roses easily strike from hardwood cuttings taken in the autumn, and commercially by budding onto rootstock.

Transplanting Kew gardens

Bare root roses are established during the dormant season. Dig a hole big enough to take the roots without bending and deep enough to contain the root stock with the union about 3cm below the final surface. Backfill adding a handful of blood fish and bone, firm in and water well
Container grown roses can be planted out at any time of year but need extra care with watering especially during dry periods in the first growing season
Bare root roses establish, grow better and are more independent than container grown roses, so it is worth waiting to choose this type or rosette grow
Prune during the summer in order to maintain a proper height and promote faster repeat blooming.1

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