🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Roses require consistent moisture, especially during the first 2-3 weeks after planting to stabilize roots; they do not tolerate soggy, wet roots.
Fertilizer
Frequent light feedings of a slow-release fertilizer during the growing season are preferred over one large feeding.
Pruning
Prune in late winter or early spring (January is ideal in warmer climates) while the plant is dormant; remove dead, shriveled, or small canes and prune healthy canes to 4-6 inches for optimal performance.
