🇲🇹 Growing Tips for Malta
• Position: Choose a sunny, airy spot. Light afternoon shade can help protect flowers during intense summer heat. Avoid walls that trap excessive heat.
• Support: Provide sturdy wires or a trellis and secure stems with soft ties. Train main stems at an angle or horizontally to encourage flowers along their length.
• Soil: Plant in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost.
• Watering: Water deeply at the base during dry spells, especially while establishing.
• Feeding: Apply rose fertiliser during active growth, following the product instructions.
• Pruning: In late winter, retain the main climbing framework, remove dead or weak growth and shorten flowering side shoots. Remove faded blooms during the season.
