Rosa Bossuet Aigle de Meaux

Plant your 'Bossuet Aigle de Meaux' rose bush in a sunny location. Roses are tolerant but will not like excessive limestone. They will adapt to any garden soil as long as the soil is well worked and sufficiently rich. If you notice spotted leaves or powdery mildew, remove them without delay. To plant your rose bush, prepare the soil by crumbling it and adding an amendment, such as dried blood or dehydrated horn, at the bottom of the planting hole. Water generously after planting to remove any air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate root development. Since 'Bossuet Aigle de Meaux' is a perpetual flowering rose, it should be pruned in early spring after the risk of frost and before flowering. Pruning involves reshaping and aerating the natural bushy habit of the rose bush. Trim your rose bush to approximately 5 buds from the ground. To prune, choose an outward-facing bud and make a diagonal cut just above it. Take this opportunity to remove dead wood and unsightly branches. Remove faded flowers throughout the summer to encourage the growth of new buds.
