watering

Twice a week is usually sufficient for a Floribunda rose such as Rosa 'Gruss an Aachen', especially during dry weather. Water the plant deeply and thoroughly until the water runs freely from the drainage holes. Let the top inch of soil dry out slightly between waterings. In periods of excessive heat, Floribunda roses may need additional watering; be sure to avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Add mulch to the soil to help maintain moisture levels.

Floribunda roses, also known as Rosa 'Gruss an Aachen', need at least 4 to 6 hours of sunlight each day in order to thrive. For optimal growth and blooming, they should receive 8 to 10 hours of bright, direct sunlight per day.
