How to grow the Peace Rose Standard in NZ

Plant in full sun with fertile, free-draining soil enriched with compost. Water deeply once or twice a week during dry periods and mulch around the base to retain moisture. Apply a balanced rose fertiliser in spring and midsummer to encourage strong flowering. Support the stem with a stake to keep it straight and stable. Prune in winter to maintain the head shape and remove any dead or damaged wood.
