Are they easy to grow? .. and especially in Qld…. Yes they are. Water is the key.
Plant on a lovely rainy day for best results. Premium potting mix with a PH of 6 to 6.5 or Garden Soil enriched with compost or aged manure is most suitable. Protect from heat and frost, including reflective heat from hard or metal surfaces. Light coloured pots are desirable as they will reflect the heat. Terraotta will be more insulated. Ensure the plant has adequate water to stay evenly moist and refreshed. Roses love the morning sunlight and protection from harsh afternoon sun preferably although they do tolerate extreme heat; minimum requirement is 5 t
