Summer Update
David Austin’s planting advice for periods of exceptionally hot weather
If planting immediately in the ground we advise that you plant your new rose in the evening when the temperature has dropped. Once planted water the rose thoroughly – we recommend 10 litres. Continue to water every evening while the extreme heat continues.
If not planting immediately or planting in a pot we advise that you keep your rose in a shady area and water daily, or twice daily should your rose feel dry (put your finger just beneath top soil level and check moisture).
