watering

It is important to water hybrid tea roses regularly to ensure they develop lush foliage and plenty of flowers. The frequency and amount of water can vary depending on the temperature, humidity, and size of the rose bush. During warm weather, hybrid tea roses should be watered twice a week, adding enough water to saturate the soil down to a 3-foot depth. During cooler, wetter months, water once a week but be sure to increase the amount of water to promote healthy blooms. When watering hybrid tea rose bushes, water them slowly in the morning to give the water time to be absorbed before the sun strikes the foliage. Lastly, avoid wetting the foliage when watering, as this can lead to disease.

sunlight

A hybrid tea rose like Rosa 'Jacopper' VETERANS' HONOR, needs a minimum of 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. However to reach its full potential for blooming and vigor of growth, it will need 8-10 hours of sunlight. To ensure the healthiest roses with fullest blooms, position the plant where it will receive the most direct sunlight possible in the morning and the least direct sun in the afternoon.

pruning

Hybrid tea roses, like Rosa 'Jacopper' VETERANS' HONOR, should be pruned annually. Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring, just before the start of the growing season when new buds have not yet started to form. Start by pruning away any dead, diseased, or damaged branches. Then, use sharp garden shears to lightly thin out the bush, removing branches that are growing inwards or crossing each other. Cut the branches so that the remaining branches are evenly spaced between each other. You also want to trim back any overly long branches; this will help promote a bushier plant and will also help the remaining branches get more light. When you're finished pruning, apply a balanced fertilizer to help the plant recover and grow strong.
