🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Deep, regular watering at the base to keep soil consistently moist; avoid wetting the foliage to prevent fungal issues.
Fertilizer
Apply a balanced organic rose fertilizer in early spring and repeat after the first bloom flush; prefers feeding for fragrance intensity.
Pruning
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming; prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and remove old or diseased wood.
Pests & Diseases
Generally healthy but can be susceptible to typical rose pests; excellent resistance to black spot, powdery mildew, and fungal diseases.
