Mulch with well-rotted manure or compost in late autumn to protect roots from frost. Avoid overhead watering to reduce foliar diseases.

How to Prune Rose?

Prune roses in late winter or early spring when the buds begin to swell. Remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches, and cut back the remaining stems to an outward-facing bud to promote vigorous growth and flowering.
