Rosa

(Rose) Alaska Star (wit)

Picture a tidy little mound of fresh green leaves, dotted with clean white roses from summer into autumn. That's Rosa Alaska Star (wit) in full swing, and it brings the classic rose look to even the smallest corner. It stays compact, growing to about 40 cm tall and roughly as wide, so you can tuck it into a pot or the front of a border without it taking over. For a generous drift of white, plan on 5-6 per square metre. Try it along a path, beside the front door or in a sunny patio pot, where this green friend is easy to admire up close. Seasonal changes may affect whether it arrives with flowers.

Give it a spot in full sun: roses need plenty of light to flower well and to keep their leaves healthy and dry. Plant it in rich, well-draining soil and mix in some compost, so the roots have plenty to feed on. Water deeply in dry spells, aiming at the soil rather than the leaves, and check pots more often, as they dry out much faster than a border. Prune in early spring, cutting back to just above an outward-facing bud, and snip off faded flowers through summer to encourage new ones. It is hardy, so it can stay outside all winter; in a pot, put it somewhere sheltered and give the roots a little protection from hard frost.
