Ken’s Weekly Tips – 20th June

by Ken C | Last Updated: 20/06/2021

I’ve just uploaded a new video to my YouTube Channel – GardenWithKen

To keep your climbing roses and shrub roses looking at their best, remember to deadhead them as the season progresses.

And whilst you’re doing that, remember to keep on the lookout for aphids, black spot, and other pests, and treat them as soon as you can to keep your rose in tip-top condition.

Happy gardening!
