Care Instructions
Planting:
Plant in a sunny location with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Use well-draining soil and place the plant 12–18 inches from the base of a trellis or support structure. Position the bud union slightly above soil level.
Watering:
Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring moisture reaches the root zone. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of fungal disease. Morning watering is ideal.
Pruning:
Prune lightly in early spring to remove dead or damaged canes. Shape the plant and train canes horizontally along supports to encourage more blooms. Remove spent flowers to promote repeat blooming.
Pest Control:
Monitor for common rose pests such as aphids, spider mites, and Japanese beetles. Use neem oil or organic insecticidal soap as needed. Keep the area clean of fallen leaves and debris to discourage pests.
Soil Tips:
White Dawn prefers slightly acidic, well-draining soil enriched with compost or organic matter. Improve heavy clay soils with sand or perlite to enhance drainage and prevent root rot, ensuring strong, vigorous growth.
