Maintenance for Rosa 'Yellow Patio'

Watering

• Water regularly, especially during dry spells, ensuring the soil remains moist but not soggy.
• Avoid overhead watering to minimize the risk of fungal diseases.

Feeding

• Use a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring as new growth begins.

Pruning

• Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth starts.
• Remove dead or weak stems and shape the plant by cutting back flowering shoots to strong buds.
• Deadhead regularly throughout the growing season to promote continuous blooms.

Mulching

• Add a 5 cm (2-inch) layer of mulch in spring to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil quality.
• Keep the mulch away from the base of the plant to prevent rot.

Height and Spread

Spring

• Feed with a rose-specific fertilizer to boost healthy growth.

Summer

Winter
