shrub rose

Shrub rose, or Rosa 'Chewmaytime' OSO EASY PAPRIKA, should be watered every 1-4 weeks, depending on the temperature, humidity, and season. In the spring and summer months, during times of cooler temperatures and higher humidity, water your shrub rose when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. In the spring, it's important to moisten the soil all the way down to a depth of 6-8 inches. During the hotter summer months, water your shrub rose deeply and thoroughly once a week. During the fall and winter months, when temperatures and humidity are lower, you can water your shrub rose every 1-3 weeks, depending on the soil conditions. Make sure that you water deeply and thoroughly, soaking the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches.

Shrub roses such as the Rosa 'Chewmaytime' OSO EASY PAPRIKA, prefer full sun exposure for at least 6 hours a day. Full sun is most beneficial when it occurs in the morning as this allows the shrub to dry off after a dewy night and also allows it time to harden-off before evening. Sunlight in the afternoon can provide too much heat and intensity for these plants, and if exposed to it they will need to be watered more frequently. If you can provide morning sun, but only partial shade in the afternoon it should also provide enough sunlight for your shrub rose to both flourish and regularly produce new flowers.

Shrub rose (Rosa 'Chewmaytime' OSO EASY PAPRIKA) should be pruned once in early spring, approximately late March or early April. Pruning should involve removing dead, damaged, or diseased branches. Any crossing or rubbing branches should be removed, and pruning should be done to create a more open and airy looking shrub. Any shoots that grow taller than the desired size should also be removed. After pruning, the shrub rose should be fertilized and watered. Pruning should be done lightly, and no more than 20-30% of the overall plant should be removed.
