FAQ's

How much sun do roses need in a small garden?

Roses typically need 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal blooming. In small gardens, consider reflected light from walls and choose more shade-tolerant varieties if full sun isn't available.

What are the best rose varieties for small spaces?

Miniature roses, patio roses, and compact floribundas are ideal for small spaces. Look for varieties labeled as 'compact,' 'miniature,' or 'patio' in their descriptions. Popular choices include 'Fairy' roses and David Austin's shorter varieties.

How do I maintain roses in containers?

Container roses need regular watering, fertile well-draining soil, and annual pruning. Use containers at least 45cm deep, ensure good drainage, and feed with rose-specific fertilizer during the growing season. Winter protection may be necessary in cold regions.

How can I prevent disease in a small rose garden?

Maintain good air circulation between plants, water at the base rather than overhead, clean up fallen leaves promptly, and choose disease-resistant varieties. Regular inspection and early intervention are crucial in small gardens where diseases can spread quickly.
