Care Instructions
Planting:
Select a location with full sun, ideally receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. Choose well-draining soil, and dig a hole large enough to comfortably fit the root ball. Ensure the bud union is slightly above the soil level and space plants 2-3 feet apart to promote healthy growth.
Watering:
Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring moisture reaches the root zone. Avoid watering the foliage to reduce the risk of fungal diseases. Water early in the morning so that the plant dries off before evening, preventing excess moisture on the leaves overnight.
Pruning:
Prune regularly to remove dead or diseased wood and spent flowers. Cutting back spent blooms encourages the plant to focus energy on new growth and additional blooms. In late winter or early spring, prune the rose to shape it and remove any damaged or old wood to promote healthy new growth.
Pest Control:
Check regularly for pests like aphids, spider mites, and Japanese beetles. Treat infestations with an organic insecticidal soap or neem oil. Keep the plant area clean, removing fallen leaves and debris to reduce the likelihood of pest problems.
Soil Tips:
The Flori Silver Lining rose thrives in slightly acidic, well-draining soil. Mix organic compost or well-rotted manure into the soil to improve fertility and texture. If your soil retains too much moisture, amend it with perlite or sand to improve drainage, ensuring the plant’s roots stay healthy and free from rot.
