🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Provide regular watering to keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry spells.
Fertilizer
Apply a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring and again in early summer to support its vigorous growth.
Pruning
Lightly prune after flowering has finished; remove only old, weak, or dead wood. As it blooms on old wood, heavy pruning in spring will reduce flowering.
Pests & Diseases
Generally healthy and extremely winter-hardy, though it can be susceptible to rust in certain conditions.
