miniature rose

For Miniature Rose (Rosa 'Savacon' CONSTELLATION), it is best to water this plant once a week, or when the top inch of soil has dried out, whichever comes first. Each watering should be long and thorough, enough to thoroughly saturate the soil. Make sure to water low to the ground to avoid wetting the foliage, as this can cause disease or rot. If possible, to ensure that water gets to the deepest roots, it's best to water near the base of the plant. Additionally, it's beneficial to mist the leaves twice a week, particularly in dry climates.

Miniature roses (Rosa 'Savacon' CONSTELLATION) need about 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. It is best to provide them with sunshine in the early morning and late afternoon or early evening, avoiding the hottest parts of the day when the sun is at its strongest and harshest. When possible, provide some afternoon shade in hot or windy climates. Miniature roses need to be grown outdoors in well-drained soil and in a location with access to direct sunlight. They do best when planted away from large trees or buildings that cast shade, as this can create an overly shaded environment and cause the roses to suffer from lack of sunlight.

Miniature roses should be pruned in late winter or early spring before the new growth appears. Remove dead, diseased, or damaged wood with shears or pruning saws. Cut weak stems that rub against each other at a slight angle. Pruning to shape the miniature rose is also important, as it will become tangled and leggy if left unpruned. Remove any crossing branches and tracks, prune the canes that reach from the ground to the bud union. Make sure to keep 1 to 3 branches growing horizontally to create a balanced structure. Cut back the outside buds of each cluster of blooms on long canes, leaving only 1-3 buds. Also remove any upright shoots that have no buds or blooms. Finally, thin out the center of the bush to allow light and air to reach the inner stems and blooms.
