To keep your roses thriving in Perth / Western Australia
Water deeply but check drainage—roses love moist roots but hate soggy feet.
Be alert for pests, especially thrips, and treat them early.
Choose disease-resistant varieties and prune out any damaged or dead wood.
Prepare soil carefully, managing acidity and using fertiliser appropriately.
Shield roses from harsh winds where possible and avoid damaging canes during pruning or when you are doing a light prune.
With a bit of attention, your roses can stay strong and beautiful right through the hottest summer. If you need help diagnosing a problem, John is here—feel free to get in touch for advice or rose care support.
