Minnie Royale
The Minnie Royale Cherry is an early-ripening cherry variety, known for its sweet, juicy flavour and vibrant red skin. This medium-sized cherry has firm, crisp flesh, making it perfect for fresh eating, baking, and adding a burst of sweetness to desserts and salads. The Minnie Royale Cherry tree is an excellent choice for home gardeners, offering a generous harvest in early to mid-spring, making it one of the first cherry varieties to be ready for picking. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and requires a pollinator variety, such as the Royal Lee, for optimal fruit set. Its compact growth habit makes it suitable for small gardens and orchards, providing a reliable supply of delicious cherries each year.

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!
