Three things I wish someone had told me before growing Peace

After growing Peace for over a year here is what I'd tell a beginner.

First: applying rose-specific granular fertiliser in early spring is not optional — it's the foundation everything else depends on. Second: rose dieback from hard winter frosts will happen and you should know how to handle it before it does. Third: a dedicated rose bed with good air circulation genuinely matters — the right position unlocks strong disease-resistant root stock in a way a poor position never will. hips forming in autumn for wildlife interest is the payoff for getting all of this right. It's worth every bit of effort.
