Soil Type

Water: Field rose prefers well-drained soil and moderate moisture, showcasing drought tolerance with a watering frequency of every three weeks. Found in temperate regions, it thrives on natural rainfall, reducing the need for frequent supplemental watering.

Fertilize: Field rose requires balanced nutrition for optimal growth, with high-nitrogen fertilizers during active growth. Fertilize bi-monthly in spring/summer and once in fall. Avoid over-fertilization; stop in winter. Water soil before application to prevent root burn and enhance root strength and blossom vigor.

Pruning: Field rose thrives with regular maintenance, including early spring pruning to promote air circulation and flowering. Remove dead branches and thin congested stems. Cut back overlong shoots post-flowering for bushier growth, using sharp, clean tools to prevent disease.

Propagation: Field rose thrives in hedgerows and open woodlands. Propagate by taking 6-10 inch softwood cuttings from non-flowering shoots. Use rooting hormone, plant in well-draining soil, and maintain humidity. Avoid direct sunlight until roots form before transplanting to enjoy scented blooms.
