Rose My Mum
Notify Me'My Mum' is a delightful hybrid tea rose with soft pink, classically shaped flowers that emit a gentle, sweet fragrance. The blooms are large and abundant, flowering from late spring to early autumn. Its healthy, glossy green foliage adds to its appeal, while the plant’s excellent disease resistance makes it a reliable choice for gardeners. Perfect as a centrepiece in garden beds, mixed borders, or planted as a heartfelt tribute in remembrance gardens, 'My Mum' is a versatile rose. It also works beautifully in cutting gardens, providing elegant stems for arrangements. Plant in full sun with nutrient-rich, well-draining soil, and water regularly for best results. Space plants well to encourage healthy airflow. At full maturity, 'My Mum' grows to approximately 1–1.2 metres in height with a spread of about 80 cm, forming an upright and graceful 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.
