Maintenance Tips for Rosa 'Parfum de Nature' A Whiter Shade of Pale

Regular care and maintenance will help this beautiful rose variety thrive and produce an abundance of blooms.

• Watering:

  • Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on weather conditions.
  • Focus watering at the base of the plant to keep the foliage dry and reduce the risk of fungal diseases.

• Feeding:

  • Begin feeding in early spring with a rose-specific fertilizer as new growth emerges.
  • Feed every 6–8 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and continuous blooming.

• Pruning:

  • Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing stems, and trim healthy canes by one-third to encourage strong growth.
  • Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage repeat flowering and maintain the plant's tidy appearance.

• Mulching:

  • Apply a 5–8 cm (2–3 inch) layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant in spring.
  • Mulch helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Keep mulch a few inches away from the stems to prevent rot.

• Pest and Disease Management:

  • Inspect plants regularly for common pests like aphids, spider mites, and thrips. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap to manage infestations.
  • Prevent fungal diseases such as black spot and powdery mildew by ensuring good air circulation and avoiding overhead watering.

• Winter Care:

  • In colder climates, mound soil or mulch around the base of the plant in late autumn for insulation.
  • Protect the plant from harsh winter weather with burlap or a frost cloth if necessary.
