Maintenance Tips for Rosa 'Parfumé True Love'

Rosa 'Parfumé True Love' is easy to care for with a little regular maintenance. Follow these tips to ensure healthy growth and stunning blooms.

• Watering:

  • Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on weather conditions.
  • Focus water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage and reducing the risk of fungal diseases.

• Feeding:

  • Apply a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring as new growth appears.
  • Feed again after the first bloom cycle and continue every 6–8 weeks until late summer.

• Pruning:

  • Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, diseased, or crossing stems, and cut back healthy canes by one-third.
  • Regularly deadhead spent flowers throughout the growing season to encourage repeat blooming.

• Mulching:

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

• Pest and Disease Management:

  • Check regularly for aphids, spider mites, and thrips. Use organic insecticides or encourage natural predators.
  • Prevent fungal diseases like black spot and powdery mildew by ensuring good air circulation and applying fungicides as necessary.

• Winter Care:

  • Protect your rose from harsh winter conditions by mounding soil or mulch around the base of the plant in late autumn.
  • In colder climates, cover with burlap or use a frost cloth to shield the plant from freezing temperatures.
