Jumbo Bush 'Trumpeter' Care Guide

Jumbo Bush 'Trumpeter' is a compact, repeat-flowering rose variety known for its striking red blooms and dense, bushy growth. It is an excellent choice for borders, containers, or as a focal point in the garden. With proper care, this variety will reward gardeners with vibrant flowers throughout the season.

Planting and Location

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun for optimal flowering, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal. Adding organic matter improves soil quality.

• Planting Time: Best planted in early spring or autumn when temperatures are mild.

• Spacing: Allow at least 60-90 cm between plants for good air circulation and healthy growth.

Watering and Feeding

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply at the base to prevent fungal issues on leaves.

• Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

• Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring and again after the first flush of flowers to encourage continuous blooming.

Pruning and Maintenance

• Pruning:

  • Remove dead, damaged, or weak stems in late winter or early spring before new growth starts.

  • Deadhead spent blooms regularly to promote further flowering.

• Pest and Disease Prevention:

  • Monitor for aphids, black spot, and powdery mildew. Treat with organic or chemical solutions as needed.

  • Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.

• Winter Care:

  • Hardy but benefits from mulch or straw around the base for extra protection in colder climates.

  • Avoid pruning too hard before winter to protect against frost damage.

Additional Tips

• Continuous Blooms: Regular feeding and deadheading will keep the plant producing flowers throughout the season.

• Ideal Uses: Suitable for garden beds, borders, and containers, adding long-lasting colour to any space.

• Wildlife Friendly: Attracts pollinators, including bees and butterflies, enhancing garden biodiversity.
