hybrid multiflora rose

Rosa 'Veilchenblau' (Hybrid Multiflora Rose) should be watered every 7-10 days during the growing season, from April to September. Watering should be done deeply and thoroughly in order to encourage deep root growth and produce the best blooms. The quantity of water you provide depends on the growing conditions of your particular rose. In areas with good rainfall and/or available irrigation, 1-2 gallons of water per bush should suffice. In drier conditions, 2-3 gallons per bush may be necessary. A humidity meter can help you monitor moisture in the soil and help you decide how much and how often to water.

Hybrid multiflora roses (Rosa 'Veilchenblau') require a moderate amount of sunlight forbest growth and flowering. The rose should be planted in a location that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight each day, either direct or dappled sunlight. Too much direct sun may cause foliage to burn, so if your garden is in a sunnier location look for some areas with partial shade. The roses may need supplemental light during the winter if direct natural sunlight is limited.

Hybrid multiflora rose (Rosa 'Veilchenblau') should be pruned twice a year; once in early spring, and again in midsummer. In early spring, prune the rose to remove any dead, diseased, or damaged canes while the rose is still dormant. When pruning at this time, you can remove up to 1-third of the entire rose bush. Be sure to prune canes just above a bud, so that it can regenerate a new growth. In midsummer, prune only to remove any spent blooms. This will encourage a re-bloom for the remainder of the season and keep the bush looking tidy. Depending on your climate, you may also need to cut back any overly tall or wandering canes. Overall, it is best to keep hybrid multiflora rose (Rosa 'Veilchenblau') pruning to a minimum, as excessive pruning can stress the rose and reduce flowering the following season.
