🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Consistent watering is required; deep soaking 1-2 times a week is generally recommended for roses.
Fertilizer
Apply a granular rose fertilizer in early spring after the ground has thawed; additional light applications may be made after the first flush of flowers.
Pruning
Prune in late winter or early spring just as buds begin to swell. Remove dead, damaged, or diseased wood and spindly growth to encourage healthy new stems.
Pests & Diseases
Generally good disease resistance; standard rose pests include aphids and Japanese beetles.
