🌿 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 as the day warms.
Fertilizer
Fertilize if a soil test indicates a nutrient deficiency. Do not apply fertilizer after early August.
Pruning
In late winter or early spring, remove anything that is obviously dead, diseased, or rubbing. Shorten the remaining stems to shape the plant and allow light to reach its centre.
Pests & Diseases
Aphids, caterpillars, black spot, rust, and mildew.
