kordesii rose

For best results, Rosa 'William Baffin' (Kordesii Rose) requires watering on a regular basis. Pour enough water to fully moisten the soil, but be careful not to over-water. In general, this plant should be watered once every 7-10 days. If the soil starts to dry out before the end of this cycle, it may be necessary to water more frequently. However, irregular or excessive watering can cause root rot or other damage to the plant.

Rosa 'William Baffin' (Kordesii Rose) grows best when planted in full sunlight, receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. In areas with exceptionally hot summers, partial or filtered sunlight may be recommended. When planted in direct sunlight this variety of rose will show its beauty and produce lots of flowers as well as dense foliage. This plant can also tolerate some shade, but flowering and foliage will be less abundant. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that direct mid-day sun should be avoided when possible as the hot sun during this time of day can damage the blooms.

William Baffin roses require pruning twice a year, in early spring and in late fall. In early spring, when new buds are appearing, you should remove all dead flower heads, as well as any weak or dead canes, to promote healthy growth and encourage an abundance of new flowers. In late fall, after the plant has finished blooming, prune back any overly vigorous canes, and thin out any overcrowded growth to keep the rose looking natural. Always cut back just above a healthy bud (or node) on the cane. Do not prune more than a third of the bush's total growth in 1 pruning session.
