Deep, infrequent soakings at the base; moderate needs; water 1-2 inches per week during the growing season.

Fertilizer

Apply a balanced rose or slow-release fertilizer in early spring, with additional applications mid-season.

Pruning

Prune in late winter to an open, outward-facing framework; deadhead spent flowers throughout the season to encourage repeat blooming.

Pests & Diseases

Generally disease resistant; ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
