Rose Fork
Possibly THE most important tool and cottage garden essential.
Roses grow really deep roots so – every now and then – you need to loosen up the deeper soil a little for better aeration.
It's also indispensable when it comes to fertilising your roses:
use the prongs to carefully poke little 'channels' into the soil around your roses before adding the fertiliser. That way, it’ll get to where it needs to go, not just dawdle around on the surface.
