🌹 Rose Plant Care Guide
1. Location & Light
Sunlight: Roses need at least 6 hours of full sun daily. Morning sun is ideal to dry off dew and prevent fungal diseases.

Air Circulation: Good airflow helps prevent diseases. Avoid planting too close to walls or other plants.

2. Soil Requirements
Type: Well-draining, loamy soil enriched with organic matter.

pH: Slightly acidic to neutral (6.0–7.0).

Tip: Mix compost or aged manure into the soil before planting.

3. Watering
How Often: Water deeply 1–2 times per week, depending on climate.

Method: Water at the base to avoid wetting the leaves.

Avoid: Overwatering and waterlogged soil.

4. Fertilizing
Type: Use a balanced rose fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10 NPK) or organic options like fish emulsion or bone meal.

Schedule: Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring through summer).

5. Pruning
When: Late winter or early spring, just before new growth starts.

How:

Cut dead, damaged, or diseased canes.

Trim crossing branches to open up the center.

Prune above outward-facing buds to shape the plant.

6. Mulching
Benefits: Retains moisture, suppresses weeds, and enriches soil.

Type: Organic mulch like bark chips or compost, 2–3 inches thick.
