Simply the best compost available to the gardener today and now available with reduced peat content!As part of our drive to improve our 'green credentials', from 2020 we have reduced the amount of peat in our compost. By increasing the percentage of wood fibre in the mix we have produced a greener and more environmentally friendly compost without compromising results. This is a bespoke professional mix made to our exacting recipe from one of Europe's leading blenders. It contains 50% composted wood fibre, to open the mix up and get air to the roots, and a precise blend of 3 different grades of peats to balance drainage and water holding. With added Lime, it is pH balanced to give the optimum growing conditions and with starter fertiliser and a wetting agent, to ensure even water distribution in pots and container, it will get your plants off to a head-start. On top of that it contains a 6 Month Controlled Release Fertiliser - meaning whatever you grow will get a slow and steady stream of nutrients for 6 Months. Under no circumstances should this compost be confused with cheap bags of low-grade black peats at DIY stores - you will feel the light and fluffy difference yourself and notice the difference in plant growth quickly. Perfect for pots, baskets and planters for growing any plants. Please note as this is a heavy item delivered by courier, there will be an additional postage charge added to your basket.

Notre Dame de Calais is a small bushy climber, that will grow with strength and vigour in most gardens - along the back of borders or even in a large container. All of our freshly potted roses are field grown and dug up and potted when the weather conditions are right in October or November, just as the plants are entering their winter dormancy, which helps keep the roots hydrated and in good condition. The roses can be kept in their pots throughout the winter provided they are kept well fed and watered, however ideally, they should planted out as soon as possible. Because plants are dormant throughout the winter, they do not produce any new roots until spring, so don't be alarmed if the compost falls away from the roots when you take them out of their pots. They will already have been cut back so no further pruning will be required, apart from removing any tips that have died back.
