🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Keep soil evenly moist; provide 1 to 2 inches of water per week, ideally applied at the base to avoid overhead watering.
Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer or rose-specific blend in early spring and again after the first bloom cycle; stop 6-8 weeks before the first frost.
Pruning
Prune in early spring to remove dead or damaged wood and shape the plant.
Pests & Diseases
Generally good resistance; avoid overhead watering to prevent black spot and mildew.
