Care Instructions
Planting:
Plant the Grand Fun in the Sun rose in a location with full sun for at least 6 hours a day. Choose a well-draining soil mix to prevent waterlogged roots. Dig a hole that’s wide enough for the root ball and ensure the bud union sits just above the soil level.
Watering:
Water deeply, allowing the water to soak the soil down to the roots. Avoid watering the leaves, as this can promote fungal diseases. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Early morning watering is ideal to allow the plant to dry off by evening.
Pruning:
Prune regularly to keep the plant healthy and encourage new blooms. Cut back spent flowers to prevent the plant from expending energy on old blooms. In late winter or early spring, prune back dead or damaged wood and shape the plant to promote fresh growth.
Pest Control:
Watch for common rose pests like aphids, thrips, and Japanese beetles. Treat infestations with an organic insecticidal soap or neem oil. Regularly inspect the underside of leaves and new growth for pests, and remove fallen leaves to prevent pests from taking hold.
Soil Tips:
The Grand Fun in the Sun rose thrives in slightly acidic, well-draining soil. Add organic matter such as compost or aged manure to improve soil fertility. If your soil tends to retain water, consider amending it with sand or perlite to improve drainage and ensure healthy root development.
