Remove any crossing, dead, or protruding branches to improve air circulation and light penetration. Cutting back faded flowers during the blooming period can stimulate new blooms. Use clean, sharp secateurs or pruning shears to avoid damaging the plant and to prevent the spread of disease. Regular maintenance helps keep Rosa 'The Fairy' looking its best throughout the growing season.

Watering a Rosa 'The Fairy'

Rosa 'The Fairy' requires moderate watering, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. It's best to water deeply and less frequently, allowing the roots to absorb moisture effectively. Early morning is the ideal time to water, reducing evaporation and giving the plant time to dry before evening. During dry spells, check the soil regularly to determine if watering is needed. Rainwater can be a great alternative to tap water. Ensure excess water can drain away, whether the plant is in the ground or a pot. Once established, Rosa 'The Fairy' can tolerate some drought, but young plants need regular watering to develop strong roots.

Fertilising Rosa 'The Fairy' is essential for promoting healthy growth and vibrant blooms. Regular feeding enhances the plant's vitality, ensuring it remains robust and blooms profusely. Organic fertilisers are recommended as they prevent root and leaf burn, which can occur with improper use of chemical fertilisers. Consider using Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer in spring and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer in summer. Apply fertiliser twice a year, adjusting the amount based on the plant's size. Nutrients are absorbed when dissolved in water, so during dry spells, water the garden to help release nutrients into the soil for the plant's roots to absorb.
