Water:
White prairie rose prefers moist, well-drained soil. Water when the surface is slightly dry, avoiding water-logging and leaf splashing to prevent disease. During drought, water every 2-3 days; in winter, reduce frequency. Potted white prairie rose may require watering twice daily in high temperatures until excess drains.
Fertilize:
White prairie rose thrives in fertile soil, needing small, frequent fertilizer applications throughout the growing season. Liquid fertilizer can be applied bi-weekly in spring and summer, with slow-release options every two months. For fresh-cut flowers, fertilize 1-2 times weekly and prune weak branches to enhance nutrient focus.
Pruning:
White prairie rose thrives with early spring pruning, which involves removing dead wood, crossing branches, and thinning weak stems. This practice enhances airflow, promotes flowering, and boosts vigor. Clean, sharp tools minimize damage, while regular pruning deters pests and diseases, ensuring a healthier plant.
Propagation:
White prairie rose can be propagated through grafting, division, or cutting. Grafting is done in late summer to early autumn, using multiflora rose as rootstock. Division occurs in early spring or late autumn. Cuttings taken in spring and autumn require proper substrate and humidity for a high survival rate.
