๐ŸŒฟ Care Guide

Watering

Give roses a good soak, then leave them to draw from that reserve. Deep watering encourages deep roots. Morning watering is best, allowing leaves to dry naturally.

Fertilizer

Feeding supports their energy.

Pruning

In late winter or early spring, remove dead, diseased, or rubbing stems. For climbing roses, guide and tie in new shoots to spread them evenly rather than heavy cutting.

Pests & Diseases

Black spot is a potential concern; ensure good air circulation to keep foliage dry.
