🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Water deeply at the base, not on the leaves; roses generally require at least an inch of water per week during the growing season.
Fertilizer
Feed with a balanced rose food or compost as growth resumes in spring, and again after each bloom flush.
Pruning
Prune to remove dead, diseased, or dying canes, and trim to shape; for shrub roses, cut back no more than a third to half of the mature size.
Pests & Diseases
Standard rose disease vigilance is recommended, particularly in humid climates.
