Brindabella Roses™ Crimson Knight™ Rose Bush

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Dig a hole twice as wide and slightly deeper than the root ball, ensuring good drainage. Place the rose in the center and backfill with soil, gently patting it down. Water immediately after planting to settle the roots.

2. Watering: Water regularly, ensuring the soil is kept moist but not waterlogged. In the first year, deep soak once a week, modifying frequency based on weather conditions. Once established, they are more drought-tolerant but appreciate regular watering.

3. Pruning: Prune in early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged wood, and shape the bush to promote an open center for air circulation. Focus on cutting back one-third of the previous year’s growth to encourage vigorous blooming.

4. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring and again in mid-summer. Follow package instructions for quantity. This will promote healthy foliage and abundant blossoms throughout the growing season.
