Product Description
‘Incredible’ is an amazing collection of shrub roses that have been specially bred to have edible flowers.

These gorgeous roses have lush, deep green, glossy foliage and flower from June to September. Grow them in your borders or kitchen garden, and they’re more than happy growing in a large pot on the patio, so you can pick the flowers fresh for a tasty al fresco garnish.

What Is Supplied
Plant Information
Top Tips
- Roses are hungry plants. Feed with a general-purpose fertiliser until flower buds begin to form.
- Once in flower, use a high-potash fertiliser – such as tomato feed – for more flowers.
Care Guide
- Grow in fertile, moist, well-drained soil in full sun.Roses can be planted at any time of the year, as long as the soil is not frozen, waterlogged or drought-dry.
- Plant your rose where it can get plenty of sun for at least half of the day, and where it will be sheltered from the wind.
- Plant with the graft union just below the soil level.
- Roses tolerate wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, so add plenty of well-rotted manure into the hole if necessary.
- Water well every other day - daily if the weather is hot and dry.
- Established roses can be watered around once a week through spring and summer - more if the weather is hot.
- For best results, feed roses in late March or April and again late July.
- Provide good air circulation and remove fallen leaves and faded flowers to keep plants in tip-top condition.
- In late winter or early spring, prune hard (back to 10 -18 inches) and reduce sideshoots to 2 or 3 buds.
- To renovate out of condition plants, or to add renewed vigour, prune one in three stems close to the base.
- To prune, you would traditionally cut just above a leaf joint with a sloping cut away from the bud, however, this isn't necessary, and don’t worry about pruning too much - roses are very resilient and will grow back.
