 Caring for your Friesia roses 

Caring for your Friesia Floribunda Roses involves a combination of attention to soil, watering, pruning, and disease prevention to ensure these beautiful blooms thrive in your garden.

Start by planting them in a well-draining soil type enriched with organic matter. Provide regular watering, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilise your Friesia roses in early spring and mid-summer with a balanced rose fertiliser to promote healthy compact growth and abundant blooms.

Prune the roses in late winter or early spring to remove dead or weak wood, and shape the plant to encourage air circulation. Regular deadheading and the removal of spent flowers encourage continuous free blooming. Keep an eye out for common rose diseases like black spot and powdery mildew, applying appropriate fungicides as needed.
