🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Requires regular watering to maintain moist but well-drained soil; do not allow the root ball to dry out completely during the growing season.
Fertilizer
Apply a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring as new growth appears and again after the first flush of blooms in early summer.
Pruning
Prune in late winter or early spring. Remove dead, damaged, or diseased wood and thin out crowded branches to improve air circulation. Cut back healthy canes to approximately 30-40 cm to encourage vigorous new growth.
Pests & Diseases
Excellent resistance to typical rose diseases including black spot, powdery mildew, and rust; awarded the ADR certificate for health.
