Rose Scentimental Bush

• Originally developed as a hybrid tea rose, this variety is prized for its distinctive striped petals that create a sentimental, vintage garden appeal.
• The fragrant blooms combine cream base colours with burgundy-red stripes, making each flower unique and conversation-worthy in any garden setting.
• Known for repeat flowering throughout the warmer months, providing continuous colour and fragrance from spring through to autumn.
• Popular among collectors and rose enthusiasts for its unusual colouring and strong perfume that intensifies during cooler morning and evening hours.

• Water deeply 2-3 times per week during growing season, reducing frequency in winter to prevent waterlogged soil conditions.
• Position in full sun location with morning sun exposure being particularly important for healthy growth and disease prevention.
• Plant in well-draining soil enriched with compost and organic matter, ensuring pH levels between 6.0-7.0 for optimal nutrient uptake.
• Feed monthly during growing season with rose-specific fertiliser and supplement with Epsom salts for magnesium.
• Prune annually in late winter, removing dead wood and opening centre for air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
• Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering and maintain plant energy for new growth.

• Plant in a sunny location with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for best flowering and disease resistance.
• Water deeply at soil level rather than overhead to prevent fungal diseases and encourage strong root development.
• Apply organic mulch around the base to retain moisture, suppress weeds and regulate soil temperature during extreme weather.
• Prune in late winter to remove dead wood, improve air circulation and encourage vigorous spring growth and abundant blooms.

• Aphids commonly attack new growth and buds - spray with insecticidal soap or encourage beneficial insects like ladybirds to control naturally.
• Black spot fungal disease causes dark spots on leaves - ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering to prevent spread.
• Overwatering leads to root rot and yellowing leaves - allow soil to dry between waterings and ensure excellent drainage.
• Spider mites thrive in hot, dry conditions causing stippled leaves - increase humidity around plant and use miticide if severe.
