watering

Shrub rose (Rosa 'Radcon' PINK KNOCK OUT) requires moderate watering 1 - 2 times a week, making sure to provide the root zone with deep, thorough soaking to encourage a deep and extensive root system. Watering should take place in the early morning so that the foliage has time to dry off before evening, which will reduce the chances of disease developing. When watering, try to avoid the foliage and water at the roots only. Supplemental watering may be needed during hot dry periods.

sunlight

Shrub rose (Rosa 'Radcon' PINK KNOCK OUT) prefers 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. The shrub rose also prefers direct sunlight during the morning, and will benefit from a few hours of indirect shade during the afternoon. Direct sunlight is especially important during the summer months, when the plant is in the midst of peak production. However, if the shrub rose were to receive too much direct sun during the summer, it can damage the foliage and also decrease flower production.

pruning

Shrub roses should be pruned twice per year. Timing depends on the climate but, generally, the first pruning should take place when the plant is about 1 foot tall, or shortly after it blooms in the spring. At this time, prune off any dead, weak, or crossing branches and clear away any dead flowers or foliage. The second pruning can come in the late-summer, but it should be done before temperatures dip to freezing. This prunes off any dead or weak growth and encourages new growth. Pruning should be light, with only 1-third of the top of the shrub removed each time. Any taller, more out-of-control canes should also be cut back to an outward facing bud to encourage the plant to spread and not become spindly.
