shrub rose

Shrub rose plants (Rosa 'Korfullwind' BABY BLANKET) should be watered about once a week, depending on the weather. During dry, hot weather, water more often and make sure to check the soil moisture to avoid underwatering or overwatering. Aim to keep the soil evenly moist, but not saturated, and let it dry out slightly between waterings. Make sure to water the plant at the soil level and avoid splashing and wetting foliage to prevent fungal diseases. In winter, reduce watering to about 1-2 times a month.

Shrub roses, like Rosa 'Korfullwind' BABY BLANKET, need plenty of sunlight in order to thrive. Eight to 9 hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight per day is ideal for optimum growth and flowering. This is best achieved by planting these roses in a bright, sunny location where they will not be overshadowed by buildings, trees, or other plants. In areas with more extreme weather conditions, partial shade may be necessary to protect the shrub rose from scorching midday sun and harsh winter cold temperatures. Additionally, mulching provides an extra layer of insulation for the roots. With the right sun exposure and care, these roses can provide beautiful blooms throughout the summer.

Shrub roses like Rosa 'Korfullwind' BABY BLANKET should be pruned between mid-spring and early summer, usually in May or June. You should remove any dead or damaged branches. This should be followed by general pruning to maintain shape and size, including shortening any long or excess branches to the desired length. You should also remove crossing branches and any overcrowded areas to ensure the air and sunlight can get to all parts of the plant. Pruning maintains the bush’s well-shaped, tidy form. You should only remove about a quarter of the plant’s stems each year so as not to cause too much stress to the plant.
