🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Regular deep watering at the root level.
Fertilizer
Apply a slow-release fertilizer at planting. After the first bloom, apply a light liquid feeding to encourage reblooming. Stop fertilizing in late August.
Pruning
Spring pruning: remove old canes and dead or diseased wood, and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back remaining canes by about one-third; in colder areas, prune more heavily.
Pests & Diseases
Generally very disease resistant; standard rose pests include aphids, mites, thrips, caterpillars, Japanese beetles, scale, and nematodes.
