Rose Maintenance Guide

01.

Main Tips

Sunlight: Ensure roses receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Soil: Maintain well-draining, rich soil with a slightly acidic pH (6.0–6.5). Spacing: Allow adequate airflow around plants to prevent disease.

02.

Water at the Base

Avoid overhead watering, as wet leaves are more susceptible to fungal infections. Use drip irrigation or a watering can for precision.

03.

Feed and Mulch Wisely

Keep your roses strong by applying balanced fertilizers and adding mulch to retain soil moisture and block weed growth, which can harbor pests.

04.

Inspect Regularly

Check your roses weekly for early signs of disease, like discoloration or spots, and act promptly if issues arise.

05.

Use Preventative Sprays

To prevent fungal infections, apply organic fungicides like neem oil or a baking soda solution early in the growing season.
