Great for your garden

Like all hybrid teas, Mum in a Million prefers to be planted in good soil in a sheltered, sunny spot given the choice. However, the perfect location is not essential; all hybrid tea roses grow on roots descended from some of the most resilient wild roses in the UK.
So cold and/or wet are no problem, but plenty of direct sun is important for strong blooming & sturdy growth.

How to plant Mum in a Million Roses

You can order bareroot roses at any time and plant them from November to April, or container roses are available all year round.

Choose a spot in the border with good light. Dig a hole deep enough so that the rose will be planted with the graft union at soil level and with plenty of room for its roots. Improve the soil from the hole by removing roots, weeds, large stones and other detritus and mixing in a good measure of well rotted compost or manure. Add Rootgrow mycorrhizal fungi in the botton of the hole so it will make contact with the roots. If planting pot grown roses gently loosen some roots out of the ball before planting.

Position your Mum in a Million rose so its roots are spread out and backfill the hole with soil, firming it gently as you go. Keep the union at the level of the surrounding soil. Water in thoroughly.
