With December we should officially be in summer, but down here in the South East of South Australia, we know that summer always appears later, and it normally doesn't stay long.
Thanks to the quality of our soil and our groundwater - we are extremely lucky down here! - and the appearance of a few sunny days, our potted roses are looking vigorous and full of blooms, and we are very happy with their quality.
We are busy selling potted roses in this period; our 2020 Catalogue is complete and it'll be revealed next month, and we'll start our budding season in the next few days. This year we'll have two new budders working with us, coming from UK and about to land in Australia for their very first time; we can't wait to meet them and tell you everything about them.

In your garden this month...
Your garden should be all in flower by now, filling your senses with colours and fragrance.
Watering and fertilising will be your essential garden jobs for the next few months; don't forget to prepare your rose plants to the very hot temperatures with deep watering the day before or in the early morning of the crucial days. |
|
| It's easy to order our potted roses online, but it's also very easy to put them in your garden.
In this video, Brian shows you what to do in 6 simple steps:
- Dig a hole that is 30cm wide and as deep as the size of the pot. - Fill the hole with water; if the soil is very dry water also the night before. - Put a handful fo organic fertiliser at the bottom of the hole and then cover it with a buffer of soil, to avoid the direct contact with the roots. - Carefully slide the pot away and place the plant in the hole; the bud union (where the rose is grafted) should be around 3cm above the ground level. - Backfill the hole with soil. - Water deeply, for at least 4-5 minutes.
Space between Roses - Bush roses: 1.2m to 1.5m - Groundcovers: 1m - Miniature roses: 0.5m - Climbers: 3m to 5m

| December is a busy and unpredictable month for the mail, so if you're buying a potted rose as a gift and want it to be delivered before Christmas make sure you place your order by these dates:
- Sunday 8th December for orders going to Queensland, Northern Territory and New South Wales;
- Sunday 15th December for orders going to South Australia and Victoria;
- Monday 23rd December is the last day to purchase or collect your roses from the nursery. |

| When you mulch a young bush rose, you shouldn't put mulch tight to the base of the plant but leave it 10-15cm away.
This is to avoid some burning on the stem in very hot days.
Wait for the plant to be more established and to have shade around the base before adding more mulch.
