🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Give roses a good soak, then leave them to draw from that reserve. Deep watering encourages deep roots. Morning watering is best, allowing leaves to dry naturally.
Fertilizer
Use a balanced rose feed.
Pruning
In late winter or early spring remove dead, diseased, or rubbing stems. Shorten remaining stems to shape the plant and allow light to reach the center.
Pests & Diseases
Extremely resistant to known rose diseases.
