Its ability to cascade elegantly over walls or cover large areas of ground with its abundant blooms makes it particularly valuable for landscaping.

With its graceful appearance, robust nature, and near-continuous flowering in Summer, Rosa ‘Nozomi’ is a delightful choice for both traditional and modern garden designs. Its charm has earned it a special place in gardens worldwide.
How to care for your Rosa Nozomi
- Planting: Choose a sunny spot in your garden with well-drained soil. The ideal time to plant is in the Spring or Autumn when the weather is mild. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball and add organic matter to the soil to promote healthy growth.
- Watering: Water deeply once a week, or more frequently during periods of hot, dry weather. Avoid getting water on the leaves or flowers, as this can encourage fungal diseases.
- Fertilising: Apply a balanced fertiliser every four to six weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and blooming.
- Pruning: Prune in the late Winter or early Spring to remove dead or damaged wood, and to shape the plant. Cut back about one-third of the plant’s overall size to encourage healthy growth and blooming.
By following these care instructions, your Rosa Nozomi should thrive and produce beautiful blooms throughout the growing season.
