BURBANK HOUSE & GARDEN
The garden in July
Welcome to July in the garden, with the
arrival of winter comes out rose season
plus a bit of rain and cooler weather.
I still think it’s great time to be out in
the garden but then I am biased, I love my
gardening. We have some great varieties
of roses this year.
It’s great time of the year to add or
start, your home orchard garden and
plant a fruit tree or two.
If you can’t make it into see us and
what we’ve been up to, you can keep
up-to-date with all the latest arrivals
by following is on Facebook and our
website.
New season roses have
started to arrive
Our 2019 roses have started to arrive. We
have a great range of roses coming in, so
you will be spoilt for choice! We still have
plenty of the old favourites, Blue Moon,
Double Delight and Mr. Lincoln to just
name a few.
This is also the best time to plant
roses all through winter while they are
dormant. If planting into pots, be sure to
use a good quality potting mix and water
in well with a seaweed solution. When
planting in garden, add good quality
compost, dig into existing soil, apply
seaweed and you will give your roses the
best start possible.
