🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Regular watering is required, especially during dry periods, to maintain health and vigor; aim for at least an inch of water per week during the growing season.
Fertilizer
Feed in early spring when the bush first leafs-out and again after each heavy flush of bloom using a commercial rose food or general all-purpose fertilizer.
Pruning
Prune in late winter or early spring just before new growth starts. Remove dead or broken wood and trim back stems to maintain shape and encourage new growth.
Pests & Diseases
Susceptible to common rose diseases like blackspot and mildew, though it has good resistance.
