🌿 Care Guide
Watering
1”-2” of water per week; newly planted roses 2-3 times per week until established; water at the base
Fertilizer
use organic soil without granular or time-release fertilizer for young roots; feed in spring once new growth begins and after each flush of blooms every 2-3 weeks; use liquid fertilizer like Founder's Fish Fertilizer for the first year
Pruning
Prune in late winter or early spring just as growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or diseased wood and thin out older stems to improve air circulation. The stems can be cut back by one-third to one-half of their length to maintain a bushy, controlled shape.
