• Mulching benefits: Apply organic mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weed growth.

• Deadheading: Stimulate continuous blooming by promptly removing faded flowers.

Fertilizing:

• Nourishing support: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring and again in mid-summer to provide essential nutrients for vigorous growth and abundant blossoms.

Pest and Disease Control:

• Vigilance is key: Regularly inspect the rose bushes for any signs of pests or diseases, and take appropriate measures if detected.
