A rose should be planted in a well-aerated, sunny location that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight each day.
Roses can be fertilized on a monthly basis until early August and watered once per week, preferably in the morning.
Watering roses at soil level, under the foliage, re- duces leaf wetness and limits disease development.
Removal of spent flowers and fruit will promote the 40 Woods Rose development of new rose buds. TENDERTENDER ROSESROSES
