🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Consistent moisture is required; roses are heavy drinkers but susceptible to root rot in standing water.
Fertilizer
Apply a balanced, slow-release granular fertilizer in early spring. Feed every 7 to 14 days during the growing season with water-soluble rose food.
Pruning
Prune in late winter or early spring. Remove dead or diseased canes and shape for airflow. Renewal pruning involves removing 1/3 of the oldest growth annually.
Pests & Diseases
Aphids, black spot, powdery mildew, petal blight, crown galls, stem cankers, Japanese beetles, scale insects, and spider mites.
