watering

Hybrid Tea Rose (Rosa 'Wekblunez' MEMORIAL DAY) should be watered thoroughly and deeply once a week, especially when the soil is dry. Depending on the growing conditions, the plants might need additional water during hot or dry spells. During periods of excessive heat or drought, water it twice a week. Make sure not to overwater the plant, as this can cause root rot. When the soil feels dry, add about 2 inches of water to the soil. After watering, allow the soil to dry out a little before watering again.

sunlight

Hybrid tea rose (Rosa 'Wekblunez' MEMORIAL DAY) requires at least 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day in order for it to thrive and produce beautiful blooms. During the summer months, the hybrid tea rose would benefit from receiving more sunlight, such as 8 to 10 hours per day. When the days become shorter and cooler, the rose will need less sunlight, around 6 or 7 hours of direct sunlight. Make sure to rotate your rose so that all of its branches receive proper sunlight.

pruning

Hybrid tea roses should be pruned in late winter when they are still dormant. It is best to prune just before the buds start to swell. With Hybrid tea roses, like Memorial Day (Rosa 'Wekblunez'), you should prune back the canes by 1-third to 1-half their original length. Removal of dead or diseased wood should be done first, followed by pruning of the remaining canes. Make the cuts just above outward facing buds or branches that are angled 45 degrees above the bud or branch that is being cut. Finally, remove any weak or spindly growth. Pruning and deadheading is necessary to encourage new growth and achieve larger, more abundant blooms.
