• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
• Pruning: Prune in early spring to remove any dead or damaged wood, and trim back the plant after blooming to encourage more flowers and maintain shape.
• Fertilizing: Use a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring and again during midsummer to promote healthy growth and an abundance of blooms.
• Winter Care: In colder climates, mulch around the base of the plant in late fall to protect it from freezing temperatures. This will help ensure its survival through the winter months.
