Rose My Little Angel Bush

• My Little Angel Bush is a modern bush rose bred for compact growth habit and continuous flowering performance.
• Features clusters of fragrant flowers in soft colours that attract beneficial pollinators to the garden.
• Grows to a manageable size making it ideal for small gardens, containers and mixed border plantings.
• Loved by gardeners for its reliable blooming, sweet fragrance and relatively low maintenance requirements.
• Develops strong disease resistance when grown in optimal conditions with good air circulation and sunlight.

• Water regularly at soil level avoiding wetting foliage to prevent fungal diseases, especially during hot Australian summers.
• Position in full sun location with morning sun exposure and some afternoon protection in extreme heat zones.
• Plant in well-draining soil enriched with compost and ensure good air circulation around the plant.
• Feed monthly from spring to autumn with rose fertiliser, supplementing with Epsom salts for magnesium.
• Prune in late winter removing one-third of growth and deadhead spent blooms regularly throughout flowering season.
• Mulch around base with organic matter to conserve moisture and suppress weeds during growing season.

• Plant in full sun location receiving at least 6 hours direct sunlight daily for best flowering and disease resistance.
• Water deeply at soil level 2-3 times weekly during growing season, reducing frequency in winter months.
• Apply organic mulch around base to retain moisture, suppress weeds and regulate soil temperature year-round.
• Feed monthly during spring and summer with rose-specific fertiliser high in potassium for abundant blooms.
• Prune in late winter removing dead, diseased and crossing branches to maintain shape and encourage new growth.

• Aphids commonly attack new growth and buds - spray with insecticidal soap or encourage beneficial insects like ladybirds to control naturally.
• Black spot fungal disease appears as dark spots on leaves - ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering to prevent spread.
• Spider mites cause stippled yellowing leaves in hot dry conditions - increase humidity around plant and use miticide if severe.
• Root rot develops from overwatering or poor drainage - reduce watering frequency and improve soil drainage immediately.
• Thrips damage flower buds and petals - use blue sticky traps and remove affected buds to break the cycle.
