🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Water deeply during establishment; provide about an inch of water per week, watering at the base to avoid wetting foliage.
Fertilizer
Apply a granular rose fertilizer in early spring as the ground begins to thaw; roses benefit from regular feedings throughout the growing season.
Pruning
Prune in late winter or early spring. For repeat-bloomers, prune lightly in late winter. For once-bloomers, prune after they finish flowering. Cut back to just above a large, vigorous bud.
Pests & Diseases
