🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Keep soil evenly moist during establishment; mature plants need about 1 inch of water per week, ideally applied at the base to keep foliage dry.
Fertilizer
Roses are generally heavy feeders; use a balanced rose and flower fertilizer to promote strong roots and blooms.
Pruning
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth starts; remove dead or diseased canes and shape for airflow and structure.
Pests & Diseases
Common issues include aphids, black spot, powdery mildew, and Japanese beetles.
