🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Water newly planted roses through their first two summers and any rose in a container or against a wall; established roses in open ground need watering only in a drought.
Fertilizer
Feed monthly in the spring and summer with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer or a bloom-boosting fertilizer high in phosphorus.
Pruning
Prune in late winter or early spring, around the time new growth begins, cutting to an outward-facing bud and removing crossing or dead stems.
Pests & Diseases
Aphids, black spot
