🌿 Care Guide

Watering

Provide about one inch of water a week; ensure consistent moisture for young plants, though established plants show heat and drought tolerance.

Fertilizer

Apply a granular slow-release feed formulated for roses and flowering shrubs in early spring and again after the first flush of flowers is completed.

Pruning

Prune in late winter or 3 to 4 weeks before the last killing frost; remove dead, dying, or diseased branches and cut back 1/3 to 2/3 of the plant to stimulate growth.

Pests & Diseases

Generally disease-resistant; avoid wetting foliage to prevent fungal and mildew issues.
