banksia rose

For a Banksia rose (Rosa banksiae 'Lutea'), water once a week or as needed, making sure to check the soil before watering. These plants prefer lightly moist soil, so make sure not to overwater. The amount of water needed will depend on the plant's location and other environmental factors, such as temperature and humidity. When the top 1-2 inches of soil is dry to the touch, it is time to water. Avoid overwatering by soaking the soil and allowing it to dry between waterings.

Banksia rose (Rosa banksiae 'Lutea') thrives in full sun to partial shade. For optimal growth, this plant needs a minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight every day. Even though Banksia roses are tolerant of light shade, they will produce fewer blossoms and vibrant foliage. If there is not enough sunlight, the blooms will be pale and lack the desired color and brilliance. During the peak summer months, it's best to provide Banksia roses with at least 8 hours of direct sunlight to achieve the healthiest foliage and biggest blooms.

For optimum health and beauty, banksia rose (Rosa banksiae 'Lutea') should be pruned twice a year: once in late winter (just before new growth appears) and once in late summer (just after flowering). In late winter, pruning should be fairly light, removing stray, wild shoots, weak growth, and old, unproductive branches. In late summer, prune a few of last year's canes to the ground as well as a few of the current season's canes. This will help to keep the shrub fresh and flowering. Avoid excessive pruning as it will reduce the shrub's size and resulting flowering.
