shrub rose

When watering your shrub rose (Rosa 'Meineble' RED MEIDILAND), it is important to water deeply and thoroughly. Do this once or twice a week, depending on the plant’s needs and the weather. In general, aim to water so that the top 8 to 12 inches of soil stays moist and do not let your shrub rose completely dry out. During periods of extreme heat, you may need to water more often. Also, be sure to check your soil moisture level with your finger or a soil moisture meter before watering to ensure the soil is not already moist.

Shrub roses thrive in full sun and require at least 6 hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight each day for best performance. Rosa 'Meineble' RED MEIDILAND should be planted in a sunny location that gets inviting sunlight in the morning and late afternoon. Avoid very hot and dry locations since this can cause the buds and flowers to burn. As a general rule, the more sunlight a shrub rose receives, the more flowers it will produce.

Shrub rose (Rosa 'Meineble' RED MEIDILAND) should be pruned every 2-3 years in early spring, just before growth begins. Begin by removing any dead, diseased, or damaged branches, then reduce the length of some of the stems and thin out the density of growth to encourage airflow and reduce the risk of disease. Prune the main stems just above an outward facing bud to allow the plant to form a more attractive shape. Cut away some of the older stems entirely, which will encourage fresher growth of dense, compacted shoots. When done correctly, you should be left with a neat, attractive shrub that produces many flowers.
