Growing English roses is a rewarding experience. Their beauty, vibrant colours, and lovely fragrance make them a true highlight in any garden, and feeding them properly is key to keeping them healthy. That’s why we’ve added Osmocote^® Smart-Release^® Plant Food Plus to our website – a straightforward way to provide your roses with the balanced nutrition they need throughout the season.

English roses are rewarding plants, but they do need plenty of nutrients to produce their best blooms. Osmocote^® Smart-Release^® Plant Food Plus provides this with its controlled-release formula, which gradually feeds your roses over six months. This steady supply of nutrients supports their growth without the risk of overfeeding, so your plants are always well-balanced and cared for.
