🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Provide regular, deep watering to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
Fertilizer
Apply a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer to support its continuous blooming cycle.
Pruning
Prune in early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead or diseased wood and thin out the center to promote air circulation; light pruning is generally sufficient for its compact habit.
Pests & Diseases
Noted for being very healthy with high resistance to common rose diseases like black spot and powdery mildew.
