🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Keep soil moist but well-drained; water deeply in the first year to establish roots and provide about an inch of water per week during the growing season.
Fertilizer
Apply a standard or granular rose fertilizer at least twice a year, starting in early spring as the ground begins to thaw.
Pruning
Prune in late winter or early spring. Remove old canes, dead or diseased wood, and canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back remaining canes by about one-third; in colder areas, prune more heavily.
Pests & Diseases
Susceptible to aphids, rose leafhopper, glasshouse red spider mite, scale insects, caterpillars, large rose sawfly, rose slugworm sawfly, rose leaf-rolling sawfly, and mildew.
