watering
The Miniature Rose (Rosa 'Benblack' BLACK JADE) will need to be watered well but not overly saturated. During the growing season, provide enough water to keep the soil slightly moist at all times. Water lightly but often, approximately once or twice a week during periods of light rain or dry spells. Try to avoid getting the foliage wet as this may cause foliar diseases, so aim the water at the root zone. During the autumn and winter months, reduce watering significantly as the plant will naturally go dormant. Water only when the top few centimeters of soil have dried out.
sunlight
The miniature rose (Rosa 'Benblack' BLACK JADE) requires around 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and flowering. If possible, it is best for the rose to receive the most intense sunlight during mid-morning and early afternoon hours. Additionally, any periods of indirect sunlight in the early morning or late afternoon should also be beneficial for the miniature rose.
pruning
Miniature roses should be pruned lightly 2 or 3 times in a growing season. The first prune should take place early in the spring, when the rose is just beginning to flower. The second prune may occur in late spring or early summer, and the third prune should take place right before the roses enter dormancy, in late summer or early fall. When pruning, remove any dead or damaged wood as well as any weak stems. It is also important to cut back any old canes to encourage more vigorous new canes to form. Finally, cut the stems of remaining canes back to a length of about 8 inches. Taking care not to over-prune, thin out up to 1-third of the bush to promote air circulation and ensure that no branches cross and rub against each other.
