Frequently Asked Questions

With over forty years of experience in horticulture, our team has all the experience necessary to help you select, plant, prune, maintain and propagate your Mister Lincoln roses. Here’s some quick advice now.

When are Mister Lincoln roses in season in Melbourne?

Mister Lincoln roses typically come into season in Melbourne in the early spring months of September and October. As one of the earliest rose varieties to bloom, these beautiful and fragrant flowers bring life to gardens throughout the city. 

When in season, Mister Lincoln roses are popular among gardeners and flower aficionados alike for their strong fragrance, easy growing conditions, and mass planting abilities.

How to prune Mister Lincoln roses?

Pruning Mister Lincoln roses is essential for maintaining the health and beauty of your flower beds. Start by removing any dead or damaged branches, as they can act as a breeding ground for pests and infections. You should then cut back any thin or weak stems that don’t add to the desired shape of the bush. When pruning, use sharp pruning shears and make sure not to remove more than one-third of the bush at once. Making clean cuts will help reduce damage to the plant and encourage healthy new growth in place of the removed branches. Regularly pruning your Mister Lincoln roses ensures that your flower bed remains attractive and vibrant all season long!

What type of fertiliser does the Mister Lincoln rose require?

It needs the right fertiliser to ensure this beloved rose bush continues to thrive and produce its beautiful red blooms each year. An organic slow-release granular or water-soluble formulation is best suited for this type of rose, providing long-term nutrition over several weeks with minimal effort on the gardener's part. Read application instructions carefully and do not apply too much; otherwise, you may have more foliage than flowers.

Can Mister Lincoln be a bare root rose?

Mister Lincoln is a hybrid tea rose, popularly known as a shrub or bush rose, which are all types of bare-root roses. This means that Mister Lincoln can be planted successfully as a bare-root rose with proper drained soil preparation and some effort. If the roots remain undamaged, this type of rose can survive the transfer from its temporary potting environment to the ground if maintained properly.
