Spring schedule: fast, reliable start

Spring decides the season: early-spring pruning, planting, starter feed, refreshing mulch and setting up a good watering routine. On this page you’ll find a short month‑by‑month schedule (March–May) for private gardens, pots and public spaces, with links to detailed how‑to guides. Are you starting with pruning now, planning to plant, or would you like to quickly boost your existing plants?

Main spring tasks

  • Pruning: early spring, before budbreak – timing.
  • Planting: bare‑root now, container plants any time without frost – steps.
  • Starter feed: CRF into the soil, then water in – protocol.
  • Mulch: refresh to 5–8 cm; 3–5 cm ring around the stem – guide.

FAQ

What if spring is late?
Carry out the main pruning before budbreak; postpone it in persistent cold. Planting with container plants can be done any time in frost‑free weather.
When should I move my roses out from wintering in pots?
Gradually, once the risk of frost returning has passed; start in partial shade, then move into full sun – spring unpacking.
