Rose Maggie Barry
Rosa 'Maggie Barry' is a charming floribunda rose that produces clusters of soft pink flowers with a delicate blush tone, exuding a romantic and timeless appeal. The flowers are mildly fragrant and appear in abundance throughout the growing season, set against glossy, dark-green foliage that enhances their beauty. Its tidy, upright growth habit ensures it fits seamlessly into gardens of all sizes. Perfect for cottage and formal garden styles, this rose excels in mixed borders, rose beds or as a feature plant in containers. Its soft colouring makes it a versatile addition to almost any planting scheme. Grows best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. Regular watering is important, particularly during dry periods, but avoid oversaturation. Space plants 50–60 cm apart to allow air circulation and encourage healthy growth. Reaches up to 1 m in height and 0.8 m in width, with a compact, rounded 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.
