watering

Miniature roses (Rosa 'Savaseat' SEATTLE SCENTSATION) should be watered about once a week depending on the climate. In hot weather, once a week should suffice, but in cooler months, water once every 5 to 7 days. When watering, thoroughly soak the soil until water is seen coming out of the drainage holes in the pot. Make sure to not keep the soil too wet, as this can lead to a variety of plant diseases. If the soil seems dry to the touch, it's good to water as that means it's time.

sunlight

Miniature Rose (Rosa 'Savaseat' Seattle Scentsation) requires 8 to 10 hours of direct sunlight during the warmer months for it to grow and thrive. It's best to provide the plant with at least 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily during the cooler months, as long as temperatures remain above freezing. The plant should be placed in a warm, sunny location for optimal growth and flowering. With adequate sunlight, the miniature rose will produce its pink blooms in spring and summer.

pruning

Miniature roses (Rosa 'Savaseat' SEATTLE SCENTSATION) require regular pruning to remain healthy and to encourage flowering. It is best to prune miniature roses in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. Begin by removing any dead wood or foliage, then thinning any dense areas, and cutting back overly long stems. Be sure to leave at least 2 sets of 5 leaves on each stem so the rose can continue to photosynthesize. Finally, lightly shape the bush as desired. Depending on the size of the bush, you may need to use clippers instead of shears for heavy pruning.
