🌿 Care Guide

Watering

Water deeply once or twice per week, providing 1 to 1.5 inches of moisture weekly to saturate the root zone, and avoid wetting foliage.

Fertilizer

Use a balanced, slow-release rose fertilizer (e.g., NPK 5-6-3) in early spring as new growth emerges, with regular feedings throughout the growing season.

Pruning

Prune in late February or early March in temperate climates; cut back stems by one third and remove dead or diseased wood.

Pests & Diseases

Aphids, caterpillars, rust, black spot, and powdery mildew.
