If you have fed your roses, it's now time to mulch them. This helps to retain moisture, suppress weeds, reinvigorate soil structure and increase soil fertility, as well as creating a polished finish to your borders. To mulch, simply spread a layer of either well rotted manure, garden compost or composted straw or bark around the base of your roses. We recommend Carr’s special organic soil improver, available on our website. | David Austin Roses
