watering
Hybrid Rugosa Roses (Rosa 'Hansa') should be watered deeply once a week in the summer and every 10-14 days in the winter season. Each time you water, make sure to give the plant enough water to thoroughly moisten the soil and saturate the root zone. Water should be applied to the soil around the rose bush, not directly to its foliage, and it should be done first thing in the morning or later in the evening after any peak temperatures have subsided.
sunlight
Hybrid rugosa roses (Rosa 'Hansa') do best with direct sunlight. During the summer months, they should receive at least 12 to 14 hours of sunlight, while in winter they should get 8 to 10 hours of sunlight. This plant species can tolerate periods of direct sun, but it is essential to provide adequate shading during periods of intense heat. Plant your roses in an area that gets full sun from mid-morning to mid-afternoon.
pruning
Hybrid rugosa rose (Rosa 'Hansa') should be pruned twice each year, once in early spring after the final frost, and again in late summer just before the plants go dormant. During the early spring pruning, remove any weak or damaged canes, crossing or rubbing canes, and any canes that are heading towards the center of the plant in order to open up the growth form. In late summer, remove spent or thinning blooms and invigorating the plant to produce more vibrant blooms the following year. Pruning should also be done to retain a desired shape, or size of the plant. Hybrid rugosa roses do best when pruned to be about 4 feet tall.
