miniature rose

The miniature rose (Rosa 'Savasweet' SPICE DROP) should be watered once a week, applying about 1-2 liters of water per plant. The frequency of watering should be increased if temperatures become hot and the soil dries out quickly. Allow the soil to dry out between each watering, as soggy soil can lead to root rot. During the warm times of summer, it might be necessary to water more frequently. If possible, water in the morning, as this will encourage healthier growth and reduce the chances of disease.

The miniature rose species, Rosa 'Savasweet' SPICE DROP, thrives best in full sun, which means it should receive 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. This plant does well in afternoon sun only, so if you live in a hotter climate, you may need to provide some shade in the afternoon. The best time to provide the sunlight is when the sun rises and sets. This means the ideal time of day for your miniature rose to receive sunlight would be between 7 AM and 1 PM, and again in the evening from 6 PM to 8 PM. It's important not to provide too much or too little sunlight for your mini rose. If it receives too much, it may become sunburned; and if it receives too little, it may become leggy, stretched, and weak.

Miniature roses, such as Rosa 'Savasweet' SPICE DROP, should be pruned once or twice a year. In spring, when new growth begins to appear, lightly prune the plants to remove any dead or damaged branches and to sparse out the canopy. When the shrub has finished blooming flowers, usually in late summer, prune to shape and size. Cut back the longest stems by 2-thirds to encourage more compact growth and remove any dead or diseased branches. Do not cut more than 1/3 of the stem in 1 pruning session. Prune mature rose plants no more than once a year.
