In the garden
Rosa The Fairy Tale Rose ('Poulcas065') is a named garden rose within the genus Rosa and the family Rosaceae. As a cultivated selection, it is grown for its seasonal flowering habit and is handled using practices applied to modern garden roses. The cultivar name indicates a registered selection rather than a wild species. Plant into well-prepared soil with good drainage and organic matter to improve structure; roses establish faster where the rootzone remains aerated. Apply a mulch layer to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, and water through dry spells rather than leaving the soil sodden. Prune in late winter or early spring to renew wood and open the centre to light and airflow, and deadhead spent blooms to encourage further flowering. Use it in a rose bed, mixed shrub border or container where routine rose maintenance is practical. Give room for airflow to reduce disease pressure and locate where occasional summer watering is convenient. Monitor for common pests and treat promptly using horticultural methods you trust. Expect the main flowering season to run June to September on Rosa The Fairy Tale Rose ('Poulcas065').
