polyantha rose

Polyantha roses (Rosa 'The Fairy') should be watered regularly to ensure healthy growth. It is recommended to water the roses at least once a week, though more frequent watering may be necessary during particularly hot or dry periods. To water the roses, thoroughly soak the soil around them until it is damp at least 2 inches below the surface. Avoid getting the leaves of the roses wet, as this can cause fungal infections. After soaking the soil, allow the top few inches to dry out before watering again. This helps reduce the chance of overwatering.

Polyantha rose (Rosa 'The Fairy') requires direct sunlight for a minimum of 4 to 6 hours each day and should be planted in a location that receives full sun or partial sun, meaning at least a few hours of direct sunlight alongside light dappled shade during the middle of the day. Depending on the climate, the rose bush can tolerate full sun in cooler growing regions and partial sun in hotter climates.

Polyantha roses (Rosa 'The Fairy') should be pruned during the spring season, soon after the winter period. Pruning should involve deadheading faded flowers, and cutting shoots that are over-long by up to a third of their original length. Make sure to remove any wilted, diseased, or damaged foliage and shoots. To maintain a vibrant, healthy bush; remove any crossed or stunted shoots (including those that are growing outward or flowering poorly). Pruning should be done carefully as Polyantha roses are more delicate than some other varieties.
