They’re proving really popular as a new style alternative to lead planters They’re competitively priced, well designed and great quality.”

How to plant roses in your Stewart Garden Lead Effect Planter
Firstly, gather everything together. You’ll need:
- fertilizer
- mulch
- pruning shears
- gardening gloves
- compost or rose planting mix
- a spade
- a shovel
- a filled watering pot
Next, choose your roses. Any variety of rose will make a beautiful addition to your garden. However, it’s a good idea to check which roses will grow best in your region. Ask at your local garden centre. Container-grown roses will already have flowers, so will look beautiful from the moment you plant them. They’re usually sold in 1-gallon (3.8 litre) sizes or larger. Be careful if you grow these in true springtime, as they’re vulnerable to frost.
Finally, choose your planting site. This will determine the fate of your roses. Find a place that gets at least five to six hours of direct sunlight every day, ideally in the morning. If they’re going to be in a particularly windy area, place your planters close to a form of shelter such as a wall or a fence.
