miniature rose

Miniature roses need to be watered deeply about once a week. Let the soil dry out slightly between waterings, as miniature roses can easily be overwhelmed by too much water. During warmer months, it may be necessary to water more frequently if the rose is kept in direct sunlight. It's best to water in the morning to give the plant sufficient time to dry off and prevent fungal diseases. You can also try misting your rose in the evening to provide additional moisture. The water should reach the bottom of the pot to ensure the smallest roots don't go dry.

Miniature roses (Rosa 'Savaweek' JULIE ANN) should be put in a well-lit space with 6-8 hours of sunlight daily, ideally between 10:00am and 4:00pm. It is important that the rose get direct sunlight, as not enough or too much sunlight can cause the leaves to wilt or the foliage to scorch. If the rose cannot be given direct sunlight, it may need to be supplemented with grow lights. Make sure to check on the rose regularly to make sure the sun exposure is adequate.

Miniature Rose (Rosa ‘Savaweek’ JULIE ANN) should be pruned in late winter or early spring. Dead heads should be removed throughout the growing season and any dead or weak wood removed during pruning. For the first 2 growing seasons, pruning should be light and limited to removing scrawny stems or those that are growing toward the middle of the shrub or deadheading. After the second season, once growth is more mature, heavier pruning may be desired. Cut back 1 third of the previous season’s growth by removing entire flowering stems and pruning out wood older than 3 years. Cut the new stems back to an outward facing bud. Remove all suckers that appear at the base of the shrub.
