watering

Water Shrub Roses (Rosa 'Meicoublan' WHITE MEIDILAND) regularly and deeply. Aim to water at least 1-2 inches per week during the growing season in spring and summer. Water by either soaking the soil deeply a few times a week, or providing a long, slow drip of water over a few hours. Soil should be kept consistently moist, but not soggy. In autumn and winter, reduce watering to an occasional deep soaking when the soil is dry and the temperatures have dropped.

sunlight

Shrub rose (Rosa 'Meicoublan' WHITE MEIDILAND) requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day to thrive and bloom. It is best to plant these roses in an area of the garden where they will get morning sun and some afternoon shade. Placing them near a east- or south-facing wall can also help them receive more sun. If planted in a full-sun position, it’s important to ensure the shrub is adequately watered during hot weather.

pruning

Shrub roses should be pruned annually in early to mid-spring when the new growth emerges from the bud. Start by removing any dead or damaged wood and then shorten long stems back to an outward-facing leaf bud. Cut 1/2 of last year’s growth back, or about 1/3 of the overall bush size. Once you have finished pruning, use a fertilizer specifically designed for roses to promote new growth.
