Lemon Meyer
The Lemon Meyer is a sweet and versatile lemon variety, known for its rich, mildly tangy flavour with a hint of sweetness that makes it perfect for fresh eating, juicing, and adding a delicate citrusy touch to both sweet and savoury dishes. This medium-sized lemon features smooth, thin skin that ranges from bright yellow to a warm orange hue when fully ripe, making it ideal for zesting and infusing flavour into desserts and drinks. The Lemon Meyer tree is compact and highly productive, making it suitable for small gardens, patios, and container planting. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, offering a steady harvest of delicious lemons throughout the year, especially during winter and spring. This tree is a fantastic choice for home gardeners looking for a sweeter, more aromatic lemon variety.

As recommended by the Swiss Rose Garden Nursery.
- Dig a hole 60cm wide and 60cm deep. If the topsoil is usable, separate it from the sand as it can be re-used in the hole. When planting roses in an existing rose bed or where roses have been previously grown during the last 5 years, the soil must be replaced.
- Mix together a mixture that contains 2 parts topsoil, 2 parts compost, 1 part manure or buy a Soil Improver, Landscaping or Rose Soil mix from a Landscape supply place. About 100 litres per planting hole is recommended.
- A layer of manure can be placed at the bottom of the hole and then the hole filled with the above soil mix.
- Place one handful of slow-release fertilizer at 20cm depth from the top where the roots of the newly planted rose will be situated.
- Soak the soil thoroughly and lightly compact.
- Now plant the rose in this mix with the surface of the plant even with the surface of the prepared area, e.g., the graft union should be about 5 to 10 cm above soil level.
- Water every day for the first six months from October onwards, up to 10 litres per day during warm weather is recommended for strong deep root development.
- Plant roses 1m to 1.2m apart.
Enjoy the beautiful roses!
