🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Regular watering is required to keep the soil consistently moist but well-drained. It is important to avoid overhead watering to prevent foliage diseases.

Pruning
Hard prune in late winter or early spring. Remove dead, diseased, or spindly wood and cut back remaining healthy canes to maintain an upright, bushy shape.
Pests & Diseases
Susceptible to common rose issues such as aphids, blackspot, and powdery mildew, requiring regular monitoring and preventative care.
