🇲🇹 Growing Tips for Malta

• Position: Suitable for sun or partial shade. Morning sun with light afternoon shade is a good option during Malta’s hot summers.
• Soil: Plant in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost.
• Watering: Water deeply at the base, giving extra attention during hot, dry weather and when growing in containers.
• Mulching: Apply mulch to retain moisture and keep roots cooler, leaving space around the stems.
• Feeding: Use a suitable rose fertiliser during active growth, following the product instructions.
• Pruning: Prune in late winter to maintain a balanced shape. Remove dead or weak growth and spent flowers to encourage further blooms.
