🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Water at the base, not overhead, to discourage disease and improve root growth; newly planted roses require 2-3 times per week until established.
Fertilizer
Use a balanced rose fertilizer or prepared rose food; feed once a month from April through August.
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.
Pests & Diseases
Common rose pests include aphids, thrips, and spider mites; diseases include black spot and powdery mildew.
