Care Tips:

• Sunlight: Plant in full sun, receiving at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal blooming.
  
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil.
  
• Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Once established, water as needed to maintain soil moisture.
  
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring and again in midsummer to encourage continuous blooming.
  
• Pruning: Prune in early spring to shape and promote vigorous new growth. Remove any dead or damaged wood.
  
• Winter Protection: In colder climates, apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base in late fall to protect the roots during winter.
