Caring for Occasion Roses
Occasion roses, like all roses, thrive when given proper care and attention. Follow these tips to keep your roses healthy and blooming beautifully:
- Planting: Choose a sunny location with fertile, well-draining soil. Enrich the soil with compost or organic matter before planting. Space the roses about 18–24 inches apart to ensure good airflow.
- Watering: Water deeply and consistently, especially during dry weather. Focus on the base of the plant to prevent wet foliage and reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
- Feeding: Use a high-quality rose fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season to promote strong growth and abundant blooms.
- Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged wood and shape the plant. Deadhead spent blooms during the growing season to encourage new flowers.
- Pest Control: Keep an eye out for pests such as aphids and black spot. Use organic treatments or companion planting to manage these issues.
