🌿 Care Guide
Watering
New plantings require frequent and deep waterings during the first few weeks; afterwards normal rainfall is usually sufficient. Water early in the day, avoiding wetting leaves and flowers.
Fertilizer
Fertilize with a rose or flower food from early spring to mid-September, or apply in two parts: half after spring pruning and half after the first bloom.
Pruning
In early spring, prune to remove dead, diseased, or damaged wood. Remove faded or dead flowers often to encourage reblooming.
Pests & Diseases
Susceptible to aphids, thrips, black spot, powdery mildew, rust, and botrytis.
