Fragaria x ananassa Strawberry Red Rose – 125mm
Strawberry Red Rose is a vigorous grower producing an abundance of fruit throughout the season. The fruit is medium-sized, heart-shaped and a rich ruby red colour. Strawberry Red Rose has an excellent sweet flavour and is popular for making jams, desserts and eating fresh. The fruit appears on strong stems above the foliage instead of underneath. Strawberries are best grown in a sunny position as this will result in better-flavoured fruits. Plant into humus-rich soil which has good drainage or into large containers.

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 ground, mixing thoroughly. Once the ground has been prepare, dig a hole which is broader, but not deeper, than what the original size of the pot the plant 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 selected. Never pot a plant into a container which 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.
