Water regularly, ensuring the soil is kept moist but not waterlogged; water in the base of the plant.

Apply a balanced rose fertilizer 4 times a season (mid-April, mid-May, mid-June, and mid- to late July), working it into the soil and watering it in.
Pruning
Spring pruning: remove old canes and dead or diseased wood, and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back remaining canes by about one-third.
