watering
Rosa 'Jacruwhi' WILD SPICE plants need to be watered on a regular basis, keeping the soil lightly moist but not waterlogged. Water early in the morning so the plant has the entire day to dry out. Depending on weather conditions they will need watering every 3 to 4 days in warm, dry climates or every 1 to 2 days in hot climates. When watering the rugosa rose, pour water at the base of the plant and avoid spraying water onto the delicate petals as this could cause damage.
sunlight
Rugosa rose (Rosa 'Jacruwhi' WILD SPICE) requires at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily during the summertime to bloom profusely. When the days become shorter and colder in the winter, the amount of sunlight it needs daily lessens and is typically around 4 to 6 hours per day. This plant species also thrives in locations with bright, indirect sunlight, such as near a south- or west-facing window. Providing rugosa rose with the right amount of sunlight will keep it healthy and blooming for years to come.
pruning
Rugosa roses (Rosa 'Jacruwhi' WILD SPICE) should generally be pruned 2 to 3 times a year; once in late winter before new growth appears, once in early summer to ensure good flower production before winter, and then once again in late autumn to prune away old or dead wood. When pruning, be sure to remove any dead, discolored, or weak stems. Also, prune back any branches that are growing too vigorously, and any stems that are growing outward. As well, remove any shoots that are too close together, any suckers that are sprouting up from below the graft union of the rose, and any crossing branches. When pruning, try to not remove more than 1/3 of the total mass in any 1 pruning session – this helps keep the rose healthy and makes it easier for you to manage the rose in the years to come.
Season
Rosa 'Jacruwhi' WILD SPICE, also known as rugosa rose, typically starts flowering in June.
