How to grow Rose 'Othello'

  • Partial Sun

  • Medium

Although it is hardy, it can suffer from powdery mildew if left unprotected. 1

A partial sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to water moderately. Othello 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). Othello needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 6.5 (weakly acidic soil).

Growing Othello from seed

Hybrid. Sowing not an option.

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 Othello about 35 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Othello

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