Care Instructions
Planting:
Choose a sunny spot that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. Plant the Flori Scentimental rose in well-draining soil, making sure to space the plants about 2-3 feet apart. Dig a hole deep enough to accommodate the root ball, and ensure the bud union is slightly above the soil level.
Watering:
Water deeply to reach the roots, but avoid waterlogging the soil. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Water in the early morning to reduce the chance of fungal diseases and ensure the plant dries off by evening.
Pruning:
Prune regularly to remove dead or diseased stems and spent flowers. This encourages fresh growth and promotes continuous blooming. In late winter or early spring, prune back to healthy buds to shape the plant and remove any damaged or old wood.
Pest Control:
Monitor for common rose pests like aphids, Japanese beetles, and spider mites. Treat infestations with organic insecticidal soap or neem oil. Removing fallen leaves and keeping the area clean will help prevent pests and diseases from spreading.
Soil Tips:
Flori Scentimental roses thrive in slightly acidic, well-draining soil. Amend the soil with compost or organic matter to improve fertility and drainage. If your soil is heavy or clay-like, add sand or perlite to improve drainage and prevent water from pooling around the roots, which can lead to root rot.
