ith their superb range of

colour, form and fragrance,

roses are irresistible for

many gardeners. And if you are about to

establish a new rose garden or maintain

existing roses, winter is the time to do

it. Roses are dormant during the colder

months, meaning they can be planted,

transplanted or pruned now with

minimal risk. Here, we show you how. ▶
