Container growing New Dawn — a practical guide from experience

I don't have a garden so a cottage garden mixed planting with lavender is my only option for New Dawn. It absolutely works — with the right attention to applying rose-specific granular fertiliser in early spring you can get excellent results in containers.

dense double blooms with a classic silhouette is fully achievable even in a pot. first flush of blooms in late spring is just as impressive in a container as it would be in the ground, possibly more so because the plant is at closer viewing distance. The main issue to watch in containers: aphid infestations on new growth. Happens faster than in the ground. Highly recommend for balcony and patio gardeners.
