rose [Wildfire]

Grow in full sun in moderately fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, and deadhead to encourage repeat flowering; for more advice, see rose cultivation

Pruning is similar to floribunda roses, but on a smaller scale, see patio and miniature roses for details

Propagate by hardwood cuttings in autumn, by softwood cuttings under glass in spring and summer, or by T-budding in summer. Note that roses are usually grafted, so plants grown from cuttings may vary. As this plant is protected by Plant Breeders' Rights, any propagation should be for personal rather than commercial use

May be susceptible to rose aphids, rose leafhopper, glasshouse red spider mite, scale insects, caterpillars and large rose sawfly and rose slug sawfly larvae; leaf-cutting bees may use rose leaves to make nests for their larvae

May be susceptible to rose black spot, rose rust and rose powdery mildew, canker, crown gall, honey fungus, downy mildews, and virus diseases, and to replant disease and rose dieback
