What’s the best way to approach rose plant care?

Accepted Answer

What’s the best way to approach rose plant care? You should approach rose plant care the way you’d approach any other plant: with patience and attention. Luckily, most modern rose plants have been bred to thrive with minimal TLC. Here are the steps you can take to keep your plant happy and healthy, whether it’s a soft pink Grandiflora or a hybrid tea rose: Make sure your rose plant gets plenty of sun: about 6 hours a day is ideal. Place the rose plant in a bright, indirectly lit spot. Roses prefer loamy, well-drained soil. Ensure the planter has drainage holes. Water your potted rose plant deeply 3 to 4 times a week for best results. If it’s especially hot for several days in a row, you can increase the irrigation slightly. Morning watering is ideal. as it discourages the growth of mold and mildew. Prune dead leaves as needed. Remove wilted and dead flowers, as this encourages new growth. Add a balanced fertilizer of 10-10-10 once a month. For a natural approach, mix banana peels, eggshells, spent coffee grounds, and alfalfa into the potting soil. Follow these steps, and your thumb will be as green as can be!
