watering

Shrub rose (Rosa 'Ausdir' TRADESCANT) requires regular watering for it to thrive. Water the shrub rose early in the morning once or twice a week, depending on conditions such as temperature, sunlight, humidity, and soil type. In the summer when the temperatures are high, water more frequently. In the winter, when temperatures are cooler, and there is less evaporation, water less frequently. In general, the shrub should receive about 1 inch of water per week. Make sure to water deeply into the soil rather than just on the surface. Avoid over-watering, as too much can lead to root rot. Water the root zone, not just the leaves and flowers, for the best results.

sunlight

Shrub rose (Rosa 'Ausdir' TRADESCANT) grow best in areas with full sun, which means that it needs at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. Soil should be kept moist and should be supplemented with regular doses of fertilizer during the growing season. When it comes to the amount of sunlight for your plant, it should be a minimum of 6 to 8 hours a day. Too much direct sunlight can cause leaf burn while too little can adversely affect the growth of the rose bush, so it is important to get the balance just right.

pruning

Shrub roses such as Rosa 'Ausdir' Tradescant should be pruned at least once a year. It is best to prune them during the winter, when the bush is dormant. At the time of pruning, remove any broken, old, diseased, or dead branches, as well as any branches that cross each other. When cutting, make sure to cut at a 45 degree angle; above a lateral bud that is facing in the outward direction. This will encourage growth of new shoots and a healthy bloom. Additionally, when finished with pruning, you should prune back the remaining branches by a third of their length. This will help to promote healthy growth and flowering for the rest of the year.
