🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Roses prefer thorough watering but do not like wet feet; water at the base early in the day to avoid fungal issues.
Fertilizer
Fertilize yearly after each bloom cycle once new growth reaches 4-5 inches; stop feeding before winter.
Pruning
Prune dramatically in early spring after the danger of frost has passed and before new growth begins; remove spent blooms to encourage repeat flowering.
Pests & Diseases
Generally good disease resistance; avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal issues.
