watering

For best results, water Kordesii rose (Rosa 'Champlain') deeply and slowly twice a week during the growing season, in spring and summer, but allow the top 3 to 4 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. During the dormant season, water just enough to keep the roots from drying out completely. Depending on the weather, this can mean watering 3 to 4 times a month.

sunlight

The Kordesii rose (Rosa 'Champlain') requires full-sun exposure for at least 6 hours per day. This sun-loving rose thrives in the morning sun and afternoon shade. For optimal flower production, place the rose in at least 6 hours of uninterrupted direct sunlight. Too little sunlight will result in minimal flower production, while too much exposure can burn the leaves on hot summer days. To avoid this, provide light afternoon shade for the Kordesii rose during the summer months.

pruning

Rosa 'Champlain' (Kordesii Rose) should be pruned lightly during late winter or early spring. The goal is to remove any dead or diseased stems and to shape the plant. When pruning, focus on lightly snipping off any dead or diseased branches and stems, along with crossing, congested, or weak canes. Aim to reduce the overall frame size by removing the ends of 15-25% of canes, making sure to leave some of the top bottom and center stems. It is recommended to leave enough green leaf growth at the top of the plant so it can continue to develop.
