Rose Powderpuff
Rosa Powderpuff is a delightful floribunda rose that produces clusters of soft pink, fully petalled flowers with a light fragrance. Flowering from late spring through to autumn, this compact and free-flowering variety brings continuous colour to the garden. Its dark green, glossy foliage provides a striking contrast to the delicate flowers and offers good disease resistance. Ideal for borders, mixed garden beds, or as a feature in a container, Rosa Powderpuff complements cottage gardens, formal rose gardens, and romantic landscapes. Its long-lasting flowers also make it an excellent choice for cut arrangements. Plant in full sun with well-draining, fertile soil and allow space for good air circulation. Regular deadheading and seasonal pruning will encourage repeat flowering and maintain a healthy, well-shaped plant. Mature size: Reaches approximately 80cm in height and 60cm in width.
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.
