Care Instructions
Planting:
Plant in a sunny location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Use well-draining soil and position the bud union slightly above the soil surface. Space plants 2–3 feet apart for proper airflow and healthy growth.
Watering:
Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing moisture to reach the roots. Avoid watering the foliage to reduce the risk of fungal diseases. Morning watering is ideal.
Pruning:
Remove dead or damaged stems and spent blooms regularly to encourage new growth and repeat flowering. In late winter or early spring, prune back to healthy buds and shape the plant.
Pest Control:
Check for common rose pests such as aphids, spider mites, and Japanese beetles. Use neem oil or organic insecticidal soap if needed. Keep the area around the plant free of fallen leaves and debris.
Soil Tips:
Flori China Doll prefers slightly acidic, well-draining soil enriched with compost or organic matter. Amend clay-heavy soils with sand or perlite to improve drainage and prevent root rot, ensuring strong and healthy growth.
