CATALOGUE PRICES The prices in this catalogue relate to bare rooted roses supplied in season (i.e end October to early April). Containerised roses are available from approximately mid April for planting throughout the late spring, summer and early autumn. Containerised roses extend the natural planting time but are approximately 20% more expensive due to the extra costs involved. These extra costs are the temporary pot; high quality soil based compost; and the nursery maintenance (such as watering and spraying programme) to keep them in tip-top condition. Sending costs are also more than for bare-root plants. If you need more information on prices and varieties phone us on 01206 844008 or visit us at www.cantsroses.co.uk We emphasise that not all varieties in this catalogue are available (including those marked New) in containers, and some will sell out. If you require something for a special occasion why not pre- book. Subject to stock we will be happy to reserve plants. We offer a mail order service for all containerised roses except all forms of Standard see page 3 for more information.

NEW ROSE IN OLD ROSE BEDS Sometimes disappointment can be caused by the planting of new rose ☎ trees into old rose beds as they never appear to thrive very well. Whilst old soil will sustain existing roses (which have extensive root system to seek nourishment) new plants need to have fresh or revitalised soil in which to start life. So when planting new roses in old rose beds; fi lling in any gaps 01206 made by other roses dying, please remember to change some of the soil.

To promote next flowering period cut back the flowered stems to the first FIVE-LEAF formation. Figure 6. SPRAYING PROGRAMME Once established the more modern varieties have better resistance to SUCKERS disease but we do recommend a preventative spraying programme. These should not be a problem, but if allowed to develop they will Spray after pruning in March and then when you have approximately sap the strength from the cultivated rose. Do not be misled by a 15-20cm (6- 8") of new growth at around 14 days intervals. If you do seven-leaf formation, although suckers do have seven leaves, so do have any problems with disease then we suggest to help clean the soil many ramblers, old fashioned and modern roses. Suckers are light of spores in December or January you use a weak solution of Jeyes green with few thorns and light green foliage and come from below Fluid 10mls to 5lts water. Remember a hard pruned, well fed rose will the union of the cultivated rose and under stock.

Standards can produce suckers on their stems, and these should be cut away as soon as they appear with a sharp knife.

MULCH To help suppress weeds you may wish to use a garden fleece membrane. To hide this you can use well-spent mushroom compost, Pruning (new plant) or a soil improver/conditioner such as Westland The Gardeners Soil (°gure 4) Conditioner (which we stock). Make sure that whatever you obtain does not include visible signs of wood chippings or bark. Most soil improvers/conditioners do include some form of spent wood but a good branded quality compost will be well matured so you would be unlikely to detect the wood aspect and will not harm the plants. With regards to general bark and wood chippings it is out opinion that these should be avoided. ¬ese carry toxins which are harmful to roses, and also draws out the nitrogen from the soil which roses need. Roses can become sick, subject to dieback and ultimately may die.

Planting in Tubs (°gure 5) 6mm Many roses are now being planted in tubs. Special attention will be required, with regular watering, and in maintaining the soil level. We recommend that for all Patio roses that the tub used should be approx 35cm (14") in depth and 30cm (12") in diameter. For all Hybrid Tea, Floribunda and Ground Cover roses the depth should be a minimum of 40cm (16") and diameter 35cm (14"). For all shrubs Patio and Courtyard Climbers, Patio Standards and Half Standard roses aim for something like a half barrel, or tub that is around 50cm (20") in depth and 35cm (14") in diameter. The planting medium should be based on 60% loam and 40% peat or peat substitute, Dead Heading with a liberal application of a balanced fertiliser. Alternatively (°gure 6) use or top up with a John Innes No 3 compost. When considering feeding be careful not to over feed as the compost will include a certain amount of fertiliser in a confined space. Once established give a sprinkling of a granular feed after pruning in March, and again in mid June. If other feeding is necessary give this in the form of a foliar feed. After two or three years it may become necessary to re-new the compost or at least the top few inches, this is best done in February.

35 Compassion cl 37 Swan Lake cl 39 Oh Wow cl 38 Climbers & Ramblers Until a few years ago, asked what is the di± erence between a rambler and a climber we would have basically stated that the ramblers must be given support, most are rampant having one period of blooms and appear under the heading Climbers and Ramblers Old Fashioned. ¬ ere is however an increasing selection of modern repeat ž owering ramblers which are less rampant and are listed under the section Repeat Flowering Climbers and ramblers. All climbers and ramblers are suitable for walls/houses, trellis, and fences. All ramblers are ž exible making them suitable for arches and pergolas. ¬ ere are also several repeat ž owering climbers, which are ž exible enough to use in similar situations. ¬ ere are modern Courtyard Climbers and Patio Climbers where space is limited and are also ideal for pillars, small arches and obelisks. After each description we indicate: C for climbers, R for ramblers, Flexible or Stiff and appropriate heights. We also give some planting suggestions on this page, and should emphasise that those marked sti± are not suitable for arches.

PLANTING SUGGESTIONS FOR CLIMBERS and other useful information For best colour effect for fences, walls, trellis and houses make your selection from Repeat Flowering Climbers. If however space is limited from CourtyardTM or “Patio Climbers” To cover large expanses, unsightly areas and large pergolas where freedom of bloom is not important select from the Old fashioned Ramblers.

Training climbers and rambling roses For best results and to encourage blooms throughout the plant when growing climbers and ramblers against a wall or fence, fan them out horizontally as the new shoots develop. The easiest way is to stretch wire along the wall/fence and attach with nails or vine eyes. The fi rst wire should be around 60cm (2') above the soil, and subsequent wires at 60cm (2') intervals. Whilst the growth is young and supple fan out and attach to the wires with string. Use the strongest of new horizontal stems, which appear from the base or middle of the plant to create another tier. Surplus vertical shoots can be cut out if necessary.
