🌿 Care Guide

Watering

Water deeply once or twice weekly; aim for about an inch of water per week, watering at the base to avoid wetting foliage.

Fertilizer

Apply a balanced or rose-specific fertilizer in early spring and throughout the growing season.

Pruning

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins; remove dead, diseased, or crossing canes and cut back long canes to encourage new growth.

Pests & Diseases

Generally good disease resistance; avoid overhead watering to prevent leaf spot and powdery mildew.
