September Rose Care Tips

As this new season begins, our rose varieties start to transition to a new phase of their life cycle. At this time of year, some roses will continue to bloom until the first frosts, with others dropping leaves as autumn nears.  Here is a guide put together by our Rose Care Team for how to look after your rose this month, and what you can expect! 

How will my rose look?


Roses will vary largely at this time depending on their variety. As the weather gets colder, you can expect roses to start loosing leaves and go into dormancy in preparation for winter.  When the roses go into dormancy, our Rose Care Team will prune down the rose so they may have short stems and little to no foliage by the end of the autumn. This is so they are prepared for winter and healthy for spring time! 

When should I deadhead and prune my rose?


Start to deadhead (remove) any blooms once they have died, however if you have a variety that produces hips, and you would like these to grow, do not deadhead the spent blooms!
In September – October, you may prune and train any rambling or climbing roses. Any long established roses may also be pruned by removing the top 30cm. Do not prune hard though – once pruned the freshly cut tips are open to winter frosts, where they can become damaged and suffer from die-back.

Disease guidance


Roses are very hardy plants, meant to be kept outside and watered around once a week in Autumn (depending on the weather!), however unfortunately this doesn’t stop some of the common rose issues from developing.
As conditions become wetter, black spot and rose rust are often seen, but by simply disposing of all affected foliage this can stop any disease from spreading. To protect against any bouts, our Rose Care Spray greatly increases the disease resistance of your rose.

Introducing English Roses

Here at English Roses, we believe roses are for everyone!

Nothing quite beats the colour, fragrance and soft touch of a rose. That’s why we are committed to providing the very best quality roses.

Grown in the fresh air at our Nursery on the south coast of England, our roses come in large 5.5L recyclable containers, ready for you to place in your garden. Carefully packaged and dispatched with care, we are confident that your rose will reach you in top condition. Plant straight away or leave in their pots – the choice is yours.

We also believe that we should protect the environment at all costs. We avoid single use plastics as much as possible, and ensure that all our packing is recyclable or reusable. We use peat-free compost so as to not contribute to the depletion of peat bogs, and also use recycled wood and bark fibre. Not only environmentally friendly, but roses thrive in it!

Roses make incredible gifts, and a wonderful eco-friendly alternative to a bouquet. Not only will they flower for years to come, but they will attract bees and other pollinators, and in turn more wildlife, to your garden. As they bloom year after year, your garden will come alive with colour, fragrance and life, and become a haven that brings untold joy.

From birthdays to congratulations, gifts for teachers or gifts for corporate clients, we have the rose for you! So many colours, sizes and shapes, from roses that climb high for pergolas, to miniature patio roses; all can be found on our website englishroses.co.uk. And with each rose variety having it’s own individual name, it’s never been easier to find a personal present!

We have over 30 years experience in growing and selling roses, and are always happy to help. Contact us for free professional advice, and help with any problems or queries you may have.
