Planting & Care

Select a sunny location with good soil drainage and plant with the graft union level to the ground surface. Water deeply 1–2 times weekly, directing moisture to the root zone rather than the foliage to prevent fungal issues. Feed with a balanced rose fertilizer every 4–6 weeks from early spring through late summer. Prune in late winter or early spring by removing deadwood and crossing canes to encourage a fuller, bushier shape and improve air movement through the canopy.
