Rose Perfume De Paris Bush

• Originally developed for its exceptional fragrance reminiscent of classic European rose gardens. The variety name reflects its sophisticated French heritage and romantic appeal.
• Produces multiple flushes of flowers from spring through autumn in suitable climates. Each bloom releases intense perfume that carries well on evening breezes.
• Forms a rounded bush with strong, thorny canes and glossy green foliage. The growth habit makes it ideal for formal rose gardens or mixed perennial borders.
• Beloved by gardeners for cutting, as the fragrant blooms last well in vases and fill rooms with natural perfume.

• Water deeply twice weekly, soaking the root zone thoroughly while keeping foliage dry. Reduce frequency in winter and increase during hot summer periods.
• Position in full sun with at least 6 hours direct sunlight daily. Protect from strong afternoon sun in extreme heat areas of northern Australia.
• Plant in well-draining, organically rich soil with pH between 6.0-7.0. Add compost and aged cow manure before planting.
• Feed monthly from spring to early autumn with rose fertiliser, supplementing with liquid seaweed monthly. Cease feeding 6 weeks before expected first frost.
• Prune in late winter, removing dead, diseased, and weak growth while shaping the bush. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage repeat blooming.
• Maintain consistent soil moisture but never waterlogged conditions. Mulch heavily in summer to conserve water and regulate soil temperature.

• Provide full sun for at least 6 hours daily for best flowering and fragrance production. Morning sun is particularly important for drying dew from leaves.
• Water deeply twice weekly rather than frequent shallow watering. Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings but never let it become bone dry.
• Apply thick organic mulch around the base, keeping it away from the stem. This conserves moisture and suppresses weeds while moderating soil temperature.
• Feed monthly during growing season with rose-specific fertiliser. Supplement with Epsom salts quarterly to enhance flower colour and plant vigour.
• Prune in late winter, removing dead wood and opening the centre for air circulation.

• Aphids cluster on new growth and buds - spray with insecticidal soap or release beneficial insects like ladybirds. Check regularly during spring growth spurts.
• Black spot appears as dark spots on leaves in humid conditions - ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering. Remove affected leaves promptly.
• Thrips cause silvery streaks on petals and leaves - use blue sticky traps and neem oil spray. More common during hot, dry periods.
• Root rot occurs from waterlogged soil - ensure excellent drainage and reduce watering frequency. Yellow leaves and wilting despite moist soil indicate this problem.
