🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Water well; keep soil moist but well-drained; water the soil rather than the foliage to prevent disease.
Fertilizer
Use a proprietary rose fertilizer or regular feeding in small doses of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium; apply in early spring and throughout the growing season, stopping by late summer.
Pruning
Prune in early spring just before new growth begins to remove dead, diseased, or damaged canes and thin, spindly growth.
Pests & Diseases
Susceptible to blackspot and mildew; maintain proper airflow and healthy soil to mitigate.
