Care Instructions
Planting:
Plant the Grand Radiant Perfume rose in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Space the plants at least 2-3 feet apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth. Dig a hole that is slightly larger than the root ball and position the rose so that the bud union sits just above soil level.
Watering:
Water deeply at the base of the plant, ensuring that the soil is consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water early in the morning to prevent moisture from sitting on the leaves overnight, which can encourage fungal growth.
Pruning:
Regular pruning helps maintain the plant’s shape and encourages continuous blooming. Remove dead or diseased stems, and prune back spent flowers to promote new growth. In late winter or early spring, cut back to strong, healthy buds to prepare for a new growing season.
Pest Control:
Be on the lookout for pests like aphids, spider mites, and thrips. Use organic insecticidal soap or neem oil for gentle control, or hand-pick pests when possible. Keep the area around the plant clean to minimize pest attraction.
Soil Tips:
The Grand Radiant Perfume rose thrives in rich, well-draining soil. Add organic compost or well-rotted manure to improve soil structure and fertility. Ensure the soil drains well to prevent root rot, and consider a slightly acidic pH (6.0-6.5) for optimal growth.
