Planting & Care

Choose a location receiving at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Loosen the soil and incorporate compost or aged manure to improve drainage and fertility, then dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and plant at the same depth as it was growing. Water deeply at the base of the plant rather than overhead to prevent fungal issues, and apply organic mulch to conserve moisture. In early spring, prune out dead wood and trim back healthy growth by about one-third to encourage a full, well-shaped plant and maximum flowering. Feed with a balanced rose fertilizer in spring and mid-summer, choosing slow-release formulations that promote blooming without excessive leafy growth.
