climbing miniature rose

The climbing miniature rose (Rosa 'Red Cascade') should be watered once a week, and given about 2-3 cups of water at each session. It is important to water deeply, but not to the point of soggy or wet soil. After watering, make sure the soil is lightly moistened all the way to the bottom of the soil, not just at the surface level. During the hot summer months when temperatures are high, you may need to water more often, as often as every 2-3 days. It is important to ensure that the soil does not dry out completely between waterings, as this can damage the plant.

The climbing miniature rose (Rosa 'Red Cascade') needs full sunlight to thrive. Ideally, it would get 6 hours of direct sun during the day. In areas with hot summers, some afternoon shading is beneficial to avoid burning the foliage. During the winter months, the rose should still receive 4 to 5 hours of direct sunlight, preferably in the morning. Allowing the rose to get plenty of sunlight will ensure healthy foliage growth and the development of vibrant rose blooms.

Climbing miniature roses (Rosa 'Red Cascade') should be pruned each year in mid- to late winter, when the plant is dormant. Pruning should involve removal of any dead, diseased, crossing, or damaged canes, and any spindly branches that are significantly thinner than the rest of the shrub. To promote a shapely, full plant, branches should be thinned but not too aggressively, with no more than 1-third of the total branches removed. Additionally, any canes that appear to be overly tall or weak should be shorted back to a healthy bud so that more branching and blooming occurs. After this shaping process is complete, the plant should be fertilized to promote growth and flowering.
