Rose Imagine
Rosa 'Imagine' is a distinctive floribunda rose featuring clusters of vibrant, bi-coloured flowers with red and white striped petals. This striking pattern adds an eye-catching element to garden beds and borders. The flowers are lightly fragrant, and the plant blooms prolifically throughout the season, providing consistent colour and charm. Its compact and bushy habit makes it an excellent choice for smaller spaces or container planting. Perfect for contemporary or cottage garden styles, this rose works beautifully in mixed borders, as a low hedge, or in pots for patio displays. Its unique flowers also make it a conversation starter in any garden setting. Prefers full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Water regularly, avoiding the foliage to prevent fungal issues. Space plants 45–50 cm apart for a healthy, robust display. Grows to approximately 1 m in height and 0.8 m in width, maintaining a compact and bushy form.
Trimming: Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. Remove dead, weak, or overcrowded stems to maintain an open shape. After the first flowering, lightly trim to encourage repeat blooms.
Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong the flowering season. Cut just above a strong leaf node to stimulate further growth.
Fertilising: Apply a rose-specific fertiliser in early spring, then again after the first flowering flush. A late summer feed helps sustain healthy growth and flowering into autumn.
Watering: Water deeply once or twice a week during dry periods, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Newly planted roses need consistent watering to establish strong roots.
Pest Control: Watch for common pests such as aphids and spider mites. Use insecticidal soap, neem oil, or encourage natural predators like ladybirds to manage infestations.
Disease Management: Susceptible to black spot and powdery mildew. Improve air circulation by spacing plants adequately and removing any fallen leaves. Treat with a fungicide if necessary and avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk.
