Jane McGrath Floribunda Rose – 20cm

* Freshly Potted Winter Roses*

Jane McGrath is a floribunda rose with an upright, neat growth habit. The foliage is a deep rich green that drops in the Winter. Small-sized, lightly fragrant flowers appear in clusters on slender stems throughout the year. The flowers are classic pink. Best used in English garden designs, cottage gardens or pots. Roses require moderate watering, especially during hot weather. Applying a layer of mulch around the plant base will help retain moisture during dry periods.

This attractive quartered Old English style floribunda is Australian bred for Australian conditions by breeders Ron & Barbara Inverarity. The lightly scented blooms are produced in clusters on slightly arching canes and last well in the vase. Trials have proven their hardiness in drought conditions, along with total resistance to black spot.1m x 80cm.

A $1.00 donation from the sale of each plant will be made to the McGrath Foundation. This money raised goes towards helping the Foundation’s important work, including placing breast care nurses in rural and regional Australia. Jane had seen this rose and was looking forward to being released in her name before she passed away in June 2008.

Planting Tips:
Make sure to prepare the soil before planting. Mixing in a bag of well-aged animal manure or compost can help to condition and revitalise tired soil. Make sure to blend compost/manure with the pre-existing soil, mixing thoroughly. Once the soil has been prepared, dig a wider hole, but not deeper, than the pot’s original size has come in. Position the plant in the hole and backfill any gaps with the excess soil. Give the plant a deep soaking of water to help settle the roots.

If planting into a pot, make sure the container selected is large enough for the plant to be planted. Never pot a plant into a container that is too small. Use a premium quality potting mix as this has all the added fertilisers and wetting agents required for having a healthy plant.
