🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Keep soil evenly moist during establishment; mature plants require deep soaking, ideally at the base to avoid fungal issues.
Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer or one formulated for roses; begin feeding in spring when new leaves appear and repeat after major bloom flushes.
Pruning
Prune in late winter or early spring as buds begin to swell; remove dead, damaged, or diseased growth and prune back to just above the second outer eye.
Pests & Diseases
Generally robust and healthy; standard rose care practices help prevent common environmental stress and fungal issues.
