Water: Tulips 'Melrose' require low watering, typically needing only one watering after planting. During flowering, maintain soil moisture, but avoid overwatering in small pots. Garden tulips 'Melrose' usually rely on rainwater unless conditions are very dry, in which case additional watering is necessary.

Fertilize: For tulips 'Melrose', no fertilizer is needed after blooming, as bulbs are typically discarded or stored. If the soil is poor, incorporate balanced fertilizer or bone meal during planting.

Pruning: Tulips 'Melrose' thrives with vibrant blooms. Prune in early to late spring after flowering, removing spent flowers and dead leaves, but avoid cutting green foliage. This encourages healthy growth and enhances next season's flowering, promoting a robust and prolific growth cycle.

Propagation: Small bulbs from tulips 'Melrose' can be collected for planting. In spring, remove stored bulbs, space them three times their diameter, and cover with 3 cm of soil. Keep in the shade and moist. After 1 year, mix in fertilizer, allowing them to flower in 2-3 years.
