🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Deep, infrequent soakings at the base are preferred; water regularly and consistently during the first growing season and more frequently in extreme heat or containers.
Fertilizer
Apply a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring, and optionally again after the first flush of blooms; do not fertilize late in the summer.
Pruning
Prune in late winter to an open, outward-facing framework to encourage new growth; deadhead throughout the season for a tidier appearance.
Pests & Diseases
Generally disease resistant, though standard rose care for air circulation is recommended to prevent issues.
