Watering
Provide regular, consistent watering to keep the soil moist but well-drained, especially during hot summer months.

Apply a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring and repeat after each flush of blooms to encourage reblooming.
Pruning
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or diseased wood and thin out the center to improve air circulation.
Pests & Diseases
