  • Location Tips: Ensure a site with good air circulation to maintain its excellent disease resistance.

Care:

  • Light Requirements: Best in full sun (at least 6 hours daily) for the most prolific blooming.
  • Moisture Requirements: Prefers evenly moist soil; water early in the day and at the base of the plant to keep leaves dry.
  • Maintenance: Low maintenance; no deadheading is required for continuous reblooming.
  • Fertilization: Apply a granular rose fertilizer in early spring as buds emerge and again in late spring.

Tolerances:

Heat and urban environments.

Tips For Success:

Prune back by about one-third in early spring just as buds begin to swell to encourage vigorous new growth and more blooms. Avoid using systemic pesticides if you plan to harvest the petals for culinary use.
