Now's the perfect time to keep on top of deadheading your roses! 🌹 Not only does it keep them looking neat and beautiful, but it also encourages many repeat-flowering varieties to continue producing blooms throughout the season. 😃

For roses with multiple flower clusters, simply remove each spent flower individually by cutting just above where the flower stalk joins the main stem. This allows the remaining buds in the cluster to continue blooming. Once the entire cluster has finished flowering, you can cut the stem back to just above the first outward-facing leaf with five leaflets.

Once you've finished deadheading, you can also lightly trim any taller stems back to the height of the rest of the plant if you'd like to maintain a more rounded and balanced shape.

🌿 A few June rose care tips:
• Continue feeding repeat-flowering roses with a balanced rose fertiliser to support healthy growth and abundant blooms.
• Keep an eye out for common problems such as black spot and aphids. Good airflow around the plant and removing affected leaves can help reduce disease pressure.

🌿 A Quick Note on Hedge Cutting/pruning During Bird Nesting Season 🐦

As a passionate horticulturalist and wildlife enthusiast, I take my responsibility to nature seriously.

Many birds nest in hedges and shrubs between spring and summer, which means I may refuse or postpone hedge-cutting work if there is a risk of disturbing active nests. In the UK, it is an offence to intentionally damage or destroy a wild bird's nest while it is in use, and doing so could result in prosecution, fines, and serious damage to my business's reputation.

I know it can sometimes be frustrating if a hedge needs a trim, but protecting our wildlife is far more important. Before carrying out any work, I always assess hedges carefully to ensure any resident birds can raise their young safely.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping to protect the wildlife that makes our gardens so special. 🌿🐦

What a hectic month it has being, but we have now caught up but any spaces are becoming full pretty quickly.

🌿 June Garden Jobs 🌿

We're now into June, and the garden is bursting with growth. A little maintenance now will keep everything looking its best throughout summer.

Jobs to tackle this month:

🍃 Prune spring-flowering shrubs such as Forsythia, Ribes sanguineum (flowering currant), Weigela and Syringa (lilac) once flowering has finished.
🌼 Lightly prune Viburnum tinus after flowering to maintain shape and encourage healthy growth.
💚 Deadhead roses regularly to promote repeat blooms throughout the season.
🌹 Tie in climbing and rambling roses horizontally to support new growth and improve flower displays.
🍂 Trim formal hedges such as box (Buxus sempervirens to keep them neat and encourage dense growth.
🌻 Cut back faded perennial flowers to encourage a second flush of blooms.
🍃 Keep on top of w**ds before they have a chance to set seed.

A few hours spent in the garden now can make a huge difference later in the season! 🌸🌹

🌿 DeepRoots Gardening | What is mares Tail 🌿

Mare’s Tail / Field Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is one of the UK’s toughest w**ds that spreads through deep underground rhizomes and spores.

💚 How to spot it 💚
Mini fir-tree or bottle-brush style green shoots, often appearing in spring and summer.

🍃 Why it’s a problem 🍃
• Spreads fast underground
• Regrows from tiny root fragments
• Thrives in compacted soil
• Very difficult to fully remove

🪴 How to control it 🪴
🌱 Regular cutting or pulling to weaken growth
🌱 Dig out as much root as possible
🌱 Improve drainage and soil health
🌱 Stay persistent — it’s a long game

🌿 DeepRoots Tip: Mare’s Tail often signals poor soil structure, so healthier soil can help prevent future problems. It could also indicate bad drainage, low fertility or acidic soil.

🌿 What is Ground Elder? 🌿

Ground elder (Aegopodium podagraria) is a fast-spreading perennial w**d commonly found in UK gardens. It quickly forms a dense carpet and can take over borders if left unchecked.

🌱 How it grows & spreads

Spreads through underground roots (rhizomes)

Tiny root pieces can regrow into new plants

Forms thick patches that smother other plants

Can also spread by seed from white summer flowers

🛠️ How to control it

Dig out carefully, removing as much root as possible

Sieve soil in heavily affected areas

Regular cutting or hoeing to weaken it

Cover with membrane/cardboard to block light

Avoid rotavating — this spreads it further

It takes time and persistence, but it can be controlled.

🌿 Did you know?

Young leaves are edible (similar to parsley/spinach)

Can be used in soups or salads

Historically used as a medicinal plant

Provides some value for wildlife
