🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Regular watering to maintain consistent soil moisture, particularly during the growing season; ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Fertilizer
Apply a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring and again following the bloom flush to support vigorous growth.
Pruning
Prune immediately after the flowering period concludes as it is a once-blooming variety. Thin out older canes and shorten lateral shoots to maintain the desired structure.
