Water:

Primarily grown outdoors, natural rainfall aids hydration, impacting the plant's flowering potential through effective moisture management.
Fertilize:

Pruning:

Cutting back one-third of older wood increases air circulation, reducing disease risk and enhancing flowering. Use clean, sharp tools for precise cuts.
Propagation:
Roses 'New Dawn' is best propagated through cuttings from healthy, disease-free stems. Use semi-wooden segments with leaf nodes, apply rooting hormone, and plant in well-draining soil. Maintain consistent moisture and indirect light. Rooting may take weeks, but leads to successful growth and flowering.
