Avoid overhead watering, which can encourage leaf diseases. Fertilize your rose bush regularly during the growing season with a balanced rose fertilizer, following the product’s instructions. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or weak canes and to shape the plant, encouraging new growth and more blooms. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further repeat flowering.

This rose is suitable for outdoor growing in USDA Zones 5-9, making it a hardy choice for many regions. In colder zones, provide winter protection by mounding soil or mulch around the base of the plant. Watch for common rose pests like aphids and spider mites, and treat them promptly with organic pest control methods or appropriate insecticides.
