Rose It’s Magic Bush

• Belongs to the classic rose family, bred for its unique colour-changing flowers that shift hues throughout the day as light conditions change.
• Produces fragrant blooms in flushes from spring through autumn, with peak flowering during the warmer months in Australian gardens.
• Forms a compact to medium-sized bush perfect for mixed borders, cottage gardens, or as a stunning specimen plant.
• Loved by gardeners for its reliable flowering, enchanting fragrance, and the magical quality of its ever-changing blooms.

• Water deeply 2-3 times weekly during growing season, ensuring soil drains well between waterings. Reduce to weekly in winter.
• Position in full sun location receiving at least 6 hours direct sunlight daily for best flowering performance.
• Plant in rich, well-draining soil amended with compost and cow manure for optimal nutrition and drainage.
• Feed monthly with rose fertiliser from spring through summer, stopping in late autumn to prepare for dormancy.
• Prune in late winter removing dead, diseased wood and shaping bush to encourage air circulation and new growth.
• Maintain soil moisture with organic mulch but keep mulch away from stem base to prevent collar rot.
• Watch for pests and diseases during humid weather, treating promptly with appropriate organic or chemical controls.

• Provide full sun for at least 6 hours daily to encourage abundant flowering and healthy growth. Morning sun with some afternoon protection in extreme heat is ideal.
• Water deeply at soil level 2-3 times weekly during growing season, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce frequency in winter months.
• Plant in well-draining soil enriched with compost and aged manure. Mulch around base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Feed monthly during spring and summer with rose-specific fertiliser for optimal bloom production. Cease feeding in late autumn.
• Prune in late winter to remove dead wood and shape plant, encouraging new growth and air circulation.

• Aphids cluster on new growth and buds - spray with insecticidal soap or encourage beneficial insects like ladybirds. Check regularly during spring growth spurts.
• Black spot appears as dark patches on leaves in humid conditions - ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering. Remove affected leaves promptly.
• Powdery mildew creates white coating on foliage - improve air flow around plant and water at soil level. Apply fungicide if severe.
• Thrips cause silvery streaks on petals and leaves - use yellow sticky traps or beneficial predatory mites for control.
