Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your rose bush thrives, plant it in a location that receives full sun for the majority of the day. When potting, use a high-quality, free-draining compost mix. During the dormant season, which runs from September through April, the plants are cut back; this is a standard horticultural practice to redirect energy to the roots and encourage a stronger, more prolific display in the following growing season. Regular watering is essential during the first year of establishment, particularly during dry spells, and an annual application of a balanced rose fertilizer in the spring will help maintain its signature vigor.
