🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Roses require at least an inch of water per week during the growing season.
Fertilizer
Roses are heavy feeders; use a slow-release fertilizer at planting. Apply a light liquid feeding after the first bloom to encourage reblooming. Stop fertilizing in late August.
Pruning
Prune in early spring before plants break dormancy or when new growth is just emerging. Remove dead or damaged wood, shape lightly, and thin crowded growth as needed.
Pests & Diseases
Possible pests include aphids, mites, thrips, caterpillars, Japanese beetles, scale, nematodes, and rose chafer. Diseases include black spot, powdery mildew, rust, verticillium wilt, rose mosaic, crown gall rot, and rose rosette disease.
