Troubleshooting
Yellowing leaves
This can be due to overwatering, underwatering, or nutrient deficiency. Check soil moisture and adjust watering. Consider a balanced fertilizer if drainage is good and watering is adequate.
Poor flowering
Ensure the plant is receiving enough sunlight (at least 6 hours daily) and is being fed appropriately. Pruning can also influence flowering; ensure you are pruning correctly for the season.
Pest infestation (e.g., aphids)
Wipe away with a damp cloth or use insecticidal soap. Encourage natural predators like ladybugs.
Fungal diseases (e.g., black spot)
Remove affected leaves immediately. Improve air circulation around the plant. Avoid overhead watering and consider a fungicide if the problem persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This rose is supplied ready for planting in a 4L recyclable pot. Choose a location with ample sunlight (at least six hours per day) and well-draining soil.

Care: Water regularly, especially during dry spells and when the plant is in a container, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Feed with a balanced rose fertilizer in spring and again in mid-summer. Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged wood and to shape the plant.
