Care

For growing it in a pot, on a balcony or a windowsill.

Light

At least 6 hours of sun a day. With less, flowers thin out and disease sets in.

Pot

At least 40 cm deep. Rose roots go down a long way.

Water

Two or three times a week, deeply and at the base. Wet leaves invite mildew and black spot.

Feeding

Rose feed in early spring and after each flush of flowers.

Deadheading

Cut spent blooms just above the first five-leaflet leaf; the plant will push new buds.
