The care secret that transformed my Black Baccara

I'd had Black Baccara for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to deep watering at the base rather than overhead and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

exceptional fragrance on warm afternoons became much more pronounced. The plant in a trellis or pergola for climbing varieties now looks like a completely different specimen. hips forming in autumn for wildlife interest confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. rose dieback from hard winter frosts has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Black Baccara is underwhelming, look at deep watering at the base rather than overhead first.
