floribunda rose

For a Floribunda rose (Rosa 'JACarque' HONEY PERFUME) planted in a sunny to semi-shade area, watering should be done 3 times a week. This rose will need approximately 1 to 2 inches of water each time to keep the soil evenly moist. This should be done in the morning to allow the foliage to dry off before nightfall to discourage fungal diseases. However, make sure to check the soil moisture level before watering, as overwatering can cause root rot. If the soil is still moist, simply let the watering cycle lapse for a few days. A mulch such as wood chips or straw will also help to retain moisture in the soil.

The floribunda rose (Rosa 'JACarque' HONEY PERFUME) is a flowering plant species best grown in an area where it receives 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. Ideally, the sunlight should come from the east or west; morning and afternoon sun is best, as the plant may be scorched when exposed to strong midday heat. During spring and summer months, floribunda roses will benefit from an additional hour of direct sunlight each day. Avoid planting in hot, humid spots as this can lead to disease and reduce flower production. Moreover, the floribunda rose prefers filtered shade during the hottest and brightest parts of the day.

Rosa 'JACarque' HONEY PERFUME, or floribunda rose, should be pruned twice per year. In late winter or early spring when new shoots are about 6 inches long, remove any dead, broken, diseased and crossing branches. Also take out any weak or spindly growth. In the summer or early autumn after flowering, remove dead, faded or crossed flowers. Prune back stems after flowering to encourage new growth. Prune lightly to maintain an attractive shape and to avoid removing too many buds that will produce next year's flowers.
