Rose Memoire
Rosa 'Memoire' is a striking hybrid tea rose celebrated for its pure white, fully double flowers that exude a light, sweet fragrance. The large, elegant flowers stand out against the dark green, glossy foliage, creating a refined and timeless appearance. This rose flowers prolifically throughout the season, bringing consistent beauty and sophistication to the garden. Ideal for formal, cottage, or contemporary garden styles. Perfect as a feature plant in rose beds, mixed borders, or as a fragrant addition to cut flower gardens. Its classic white flowers also make it a meaningful choice for commemorative plantings. Grows best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. Ensure consistent watering, especially during dry periods, and space plants 60–70 cm apart to promote healthy airflow and growth. Reaches up to 1.2 m in height and 0.9 m in width, with a graceful, upright growth habit.
Trimming: Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. Remove dead, weak, or crossing stems to improve airflow and structure. Lightly trim after the first flowering flush to encourage repeat blooms.
Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to promote continuous flowering. Cut just above a healthy leaf set to stimulate new growth.
Fertilising: Apply a balanced rose fertiliser in early spring as new growth appears. Feed again after the first major flowering and once more in late summer to support healthy blooms.
Watering: Water deeply once or twice a week during dry spells, ensuring the soil stays moist but well-drained. Newly planted roses need consistent watering until established.
Pest Control: Watch for aphids, spider mites, and thrips. 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 properly and removing fallen leaves. Apply a fungicide if needed and avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk.
