Water: Redcurrant 'Rosetta' thrives in consistently moist soil and prefers regular hydration, ideally being watered twice a week. With moderate drought tolerance, it is best cultivated outdoors to take advantage of natural rainfall, especially during the growing season crucial for fruit development.

Fertilize: Redcurrant 'Rosetta' thrives with regular fertilization using balanced-nutrition formulas. Begin with high-nitrogen in spring for foliage, then switch to a balanced fertilizer for fruiting every 4-6 weeks. Reduce in autumn for dormancy. Consider slow-release pellets for steady nutrient supply.

Pruning: Redcurrant 'Rosetta' produces vibrant, tart berries and benefits from early spring pruning. Remove dead or overcrowded wood to improve airflow. Cut older branches at the base to encourage new growth. Annual pruning enhances fruit yield, disease resistance, and overall vigor.

Propagation: Redcurrant 'Rosetta' is propagated through cuttings by selecting a healthy young stem with leaves. Cut below a leaf node to enhance rooting potential. Plant in well-draining soil, maintain consistent humidity, and provide indirect light to support root establishment.
