🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Consistent, regular watering; about an inch per week. Water at the base of the plant in the morning to avoid wetting foliage.
Fertilizer
Balanced granular rose fertilizer applied in early spring as the ground thaws; occasional compost top-dressing is beneficial.
Pruning
Prune once a year after the first main flush of blooms or before spring growth begins. Remove dead, diseased, or damaged wood and crossing branches. Focus on training and shortening lateral shoots.
Pests & Diseases
Susceptible to aphids, Japanese beetles, black spot, anthracnose, powdery mildew, and rust.
