Use these instructions to care for a Rose. This guide will tell you how to water a Rose; its light, temperature, humidity preferences and any additional care it might need to help it grow.
Rose
Place your Rose in a full sun location that receives 6 or more hours of direct sunlight per day. In fact, your Roses would thrive with exposure to the morning sunlight as opposed to the afternoon, which can scorch your flowers. However, roses can tolerate partial sun exposure, but flowering will be reduced. The plant will not produce flowers in a fully shaded location.
Water your Roses thoroughly twice a week at ground level as early in the day as possible. By watering earlier rather than later, your protecting the plant from developing powdery mildew. Likewise, you’ll want to avoid spraying or splashing the leaves and flowers for that same reason.
Your Roses will thrive in average humidity of 60 to 70%.
Keep indoors in a bright spot until outdoor temperatures climb above 45°F. Foliage can be damaged in below-freezing temperatures. Thus, it’s best to try to overwinter your Rosebush indoors or at least try bending the canes down to the ground and covering them completely with mulch and soil.
Feed your Roses monthly in the spring and summer with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer. For maximum flowering, use a bloom-boosting fertilizer that is high in phosphorus.
Your Rose is considered non-toxic and pet-friendly, but watch out for the sharp thorns.
Bring your plant indoors once night temperatures dip below 35°F. Keep the plant in a bright spot, water sparingly, and do not fertilize. Your Rose will not grow quickly, if at all, over the winter. Begin fertilizing it again in the early spring and move it outdoors once temperatures stay above 45°F. If you live in USDA Zone 5 or above, you can plant your Rose in the ground. It will survive the winter and come back to life every spring for years to come!
