Deep, infrequent soakings at the base; 2-3 times per week for newly planted roses until established; more frequent in heat, sandy soil, or containers.
Fertilizer

Pruning
Prune in early spring to remove damaged, dead, and diseased canes; cut back stems by a third or to an open, outward-facing framework.
