Gardeners can brush up on their rose care skills at a free workshop this summer.
The rose-themed Grow How workshop will take place at the Dobbies Garden Centre in Swindon, offering practical advice on how to grow and care for roses, from pruning to planting, and everything in between.
Nigel Lawton, plant buyer at Dobbies, said: “Roses are a timeless garden favourite, providing a vibrant pop of colour, a delicate fragrance when in bloom and are a magnet for pollinators like bees and butterflies.
“There are so many wonderful varieties, perfect for any outdoor space.

“We’re excited to help demonstrate some simple planting and pruning tips to help gardeners in Swindon enjoy these popular flowers throughout the summer months and into autumn.”
The session will cover rose varieties, care requirements, and how to select the right rose for your garden.
Attendees will learn about sunshine needs, maintenance levels, and the basics of planting roses, including potting mix, mulch, and feeding.
The session will also include pruning guidance, a demonstration on deadheading, and a hands-on opportunity for attendees to try it themselves.
Spaces are limited and booking is essential.
