🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Water deeply at the base, avoiding the leaves, once or twice a week during the first season.
Fertilizer
Use a balanced rose food or compost with alfalfa meal as leaves emerge and after each bloom flush.
Pruning
Prune in early spring as new growth begins; for once-blooming roses, prune immediately after the bloom flush.
Pests & Diseases
Black spot is a common concern; keep foliage dry and remove fallen leaves to prevent overwintering.
