🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Water generously after planting and maintain regular watering for container roses; generally, roses require at least an inch of water per week during the growing season.
Fertilizer
Apply a balanced fertilizer after each bloom cycle; avoid excessive nitrogen which can inhibit blooming. Stop feeding in late summer to allow growth to mature before winter.
Pruning
Prune in early spring. Remove all weak, dead wood, thin, and unripened branches into living wood. Remove wild shoots from the base. Cut back healthy, strong branches to about 5 cm above the ground.
