Our Rose beds receive 8 summer maintenance visits and 1 winter maintenance visit during the year.
During spring and summer season visits we:
- Weed, or chemically treat the beds
- Remove any litter and report fly-tipping
- Remove any dead flowers from the plant
- Prune roses back if they are causing obstructions (e.g. near windows, doorways, paths etc.)

During or shortly after the first visit of the growing season, herbicide may be applied in order to assist with weed control.
The winter maintenance visits include:
- Weed the beds
- Remove any litter and report fly-tipping
- Remove any leaves accumulated within the bed
- Prune rose growth to one third during November
- Pruning to appropriate requirements for plant type in February/March
- Apply suitable fertiliser
