Various factors can help when choosing the right rose, like the amount of sunshine the plant might need to flourish and how much maintenance they’ll need.
Also covered in the session will be some rose planting basics, covering the different kind of pots and planters, potting mix, mulch and rose feed to keep the plant well-fed.
Attendees will get the opportunity to ask any rose-care questions and talk through current challenges with their existing roses during an informal Q&A session.
