Watering
Requires about 1 inch of water per week; water deeply and slowly at the base, keeping soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Fertilizer
Use a balanced rose fertilizer or slow-release granular fertilizer in early spring, again after the first flush of blooms, and potentially once more in mid-summer.
Pruning
Perform annual dormant pruning in late winter or early spring by removing dead, damaged, or diseased canes and cutting back healthy canes by one-third to one-half. Deadhead spent blooms throughout the growing season.
