seven sisters' rose

Water Seven Sisters’ rose deeply and about once a week. It requires moist soil, especially during the growing season (spring and summer). When the weather is especially hot or dry, water more often, as often as every other day, ensuring that the soil is thoroughly moistened. Avoid overwatering by checking that the soil has dried out at least 2 inches (5 cm) down from the top before watering again.

Seven Sisters' rose (Rosa multiflora Grevillei) thrives best in full sun, receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight every day. Too much direct sun during the hottest periods of the day may scorch the leaves of this plant, so it is best to provide some shade in the late afternoon. The amount of shade needed is highly dependent on the local climate and temperature. Furthermore, overcast days can provide enough light for the plant as well, as long as it is not days on end.

The Seven Sisters rose should be pruned annually in early spring, when the buds start to swell. Pruning should focus on shaping and removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches. The plant should be trimmed to a desired shape or size, cutting back overgrown or leggy stems. To encourage additional blooms, the stems should be pruned back to just a few buds. If the plant has been neglected, older stems may need to be cut back to ground level in order to rejuvenate existing growth.
