Would I need one banksia rose to cover an arch that measures 2400mm high, 1400mm wide & 380mm deep? That is, would it grow up and across and down the other side? How long would that take?

Kia ora, One banksia rose may eventually cover your arch (2400mm H × 1400mm W × 380mm D), but it will take time to grow up, across, and down the other side—likely 3–5 years depending on growing conditions. For quicker, fuller coverage, two plants (one on each side) are often recommended. Many thanks

Also about the banksia rose, it says water regularly during establishment. Is that daily or weekly?

Kia ora, For the Banksia rose, “water regularly during establishment” typically means keeping the soil consistently moist, usually 2–3 times per week rather than daily. Adjust slightly depending on rainfall and soil type.
