1. Planting: Miniature roses prefer well-draining, rich, loamy soil that retains moisture and thrives in full sun. For pots and hanging baskets, use a peat-free, all-purpose potting mix for better drainage. Space plants 12 inches apart for ground cover, and ensure individual containers have at least a 10-inch diameter. Bring pots indoors before the first freeze in fall and provide bright, indirect light to keep them thriving through winter.
2. Watering: The Sunblaze® Watermelon rose should be watered when the soil is dry. Check the soil moisture by feeling it about an inch deep.
3. Fertilizing: Sunblaze® is a heavy-blooming plant that needs fertilizing during the growing season. Apply a slow-release fertilizer for roses or tomatoes when new growth appears in spring and again at flowering. Look for an NPK ratio of about 1-4-3 to encourage blooms.
4. Pruning: Miniature roses need light pruning and deadheading to stay compact. Trim faded flowers and any rough-looking stems with garden shears. In early spring, remove winter-damaged stems to prevent diseases and pests. If necessary, cut the plant back to 6-8 inches from the soil to promote new growth.
