Water: Rose is moderately drought-tolerant, thriving with balanced soil moisture. Watering is recommended every 1-2 weeks. During the flowering stage, consistent moisture is essential for optimal growth and robust blooms, particularly when grown outdoors in natural light.

Fertilize: For rose, use balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks in the growing season, stopping in late summer. Apply 1/2 cup per bush, avoiding stems, and water thoroughly after feeding. Monitor for over-fertilization, like leaf burn, to maximize rose's health and flowering potential.

Pruning: Rose is known for its beautiful, fragrant blooms and requires early spring pruning. Key techniques include removing dead wood, cutting canes back by one-third, and thinning the center for better air circulation. Clean cuts promote healthy growth and maintain shape for easier management.

Propagation: Rose is cherished for its stunning, fragrant flowers. Propagation through stem cuttings from healthy, non-flowering shoots is effective, especially with rooting hormone. Maintain proper moisture levels for root success, and gently transplant established roots to enhance their growth and beauty in gardens.

Repotting: Repot rose every 2-3 years in early spring, choosing larger containers for root expansion. Ensure proper drainage and maintain moist soil. Provide a sunny location to promote healthy growth after repotting.
