Water: Originating from arid regions, yellow rose thrives with minimal moisture and exhibits drought tolerance. Watering once every 1-2 weeks is ideal. To enhance blooming during the growing season, additional water is beneficial, though care should be taken to avoid soil saturation.

Fertilize: Yellow rose requires a balanced nutrition fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during its growing season, starting in early spring. Adjust application in late summer to match growth cycles, and avoid contact with foliage. Water before and after fertilizing for optimal nutrient absorption, promoting robust growth and vibrant blooms.

Pruning: Yellow rose features vibrant yellow blooms and thorny branches. Prune in early spring by removing dead or weak wood to promote growth and airflow. Regular pruning enhances flower production and maintains size, ensuring a healthy and attractive plant.

Propagation: Yellow rose boasts vibrant yellow blooms, making it ideal for gardens and propagation. Utilize healthy cuttings with rooting hormone in well-draining soil. Keep cuttings moist and protected until established, while monitoring for pests and diseases to enhance resilience.
