Patio roses are perfect for growing in containers on the patio, but may also be grown in the border. In pots, they need good-quality, soil-based compost, regular watering and weekly liquid feed.
Rosa 'Letchworth Centenary' is a fantastic, repeat-flowering rose. It produces musk-scented, pink blooms throughout summer. It’s a great choice for a sunny patio, but is equally suited to growing at the front of an ornamental border.
Grow Rosa 'Letchworth Centenary' in moist but well-drained, soil-based compost in full sun. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering but leave some for hips to develop to provide winter interest and food for birds. Hard prune in spring, to prevent plants becoming leggy.
