🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Water regularly until established.
Fertilizer
Fertilize in early spring after the last frost. Additional light feedings can be applied throughout the growing season. Stop feeding in late summer to allow growth to mature before winter.
Pruning
Climbing roses should not be pruned for the first two years. After that, prune in fall and early spring to remove old canes and encourage new growth from the bottom of the plant.
Pests & Diseases
Excellent resistance to black spot and downy mildew; almost completely impervious to mildew.
