Roses can cause gardeners a lot of anxiety – there is so much to get right each year to get a consistent show of blooms, and so many possible problems. This one-day course is designed to give you some confidence in getting the best from your roses.
This course covers planting, pruning and training the main types of rose, with demonstrations and some opportunities for hands-on work.
- Rose terminology - an explanation of types and growth habits
- Planting (including tips on overcoming rose replant problems)#
- Autumn and late winter pruning
- Training climbers and ramblers
- Rose problems - dealing with pests and diseases
- Practical pruning and training
This course is not assessed; an expert tutor will take you through some of the background to looking after roses, then take you through pruning and train methods on specimen plants outside, before allowing you opportunities to practice this for yourself.
On completion of the programme you will be given a course completion certificate from the Academy of Practical Horticulture.
The course takes place at North Moreton, starting in the Village Hall and then in the garden at The Filberts nearby.
Cost: £95.00 plus V.A.T. at £19.00 for the complete course, total payable £114.00.

This is mixture of theory and practical work, therefore you need to wear comfortable casual clothing and for inclement weather some waterproofs which are also thornproof would be ideal! Secateurs and gloves will be provided but safety footwear or stout boots should be worn.
You would be welcome to attend any of the short course or masterclasses that we offer, or perhaps (if not already studying one of them) one of the Royal Horticultural Society Courses at one of our centres.
