Care Instructions
Planting:
Plant in a sunny location with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Prepare the soil by adding compost for improved drainage. Space roses at least 18-24 inches apart for good air circulation.
Watering:
Water deeply and consistently, especially during dry spells, but avoid overhead watering to minimize fungal diseases. Ensure the soil is moist but well-drained.
Pruning:
Prune in early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead or damaged wood, cutting back to a healthy bud. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering.
Pest Control:
Monitor for common rose pests like aphids and spider mites. Use insecticidal soap or natural predators (ladybugs) to control infestations. Regularly inspect leaves for signs of disease.
Soil Tips:
Rose bushes prefer rich, loamy soil with a slightly acidic pH (6.0 to 6.5). Amend soil with organic compost or well-rotted manure to provide essential nutrients.
