Growing and caring for the rose Jubilee de Prince of Monaco

For planting in the garden and on flower beds in private households, you need to buy seedlings that are no more than 3 years old.

After this, irrigation is necessary only when the soil dries out. Waterlogging should not be allowed, in damp earth the roots may begin to rot. After each watering, the soil should be loosened so that air can flow to the roots.

An adult bush is also watered only on dry ground. Fertilize roses in early spring and before flowering. Organic matter (humus, compost and ash) and mineral fertilizers can be used as top dressing. Under each rose bush, at least a bucket of humus and 1-2 kg of ash are applied. Mineral fertilizers - according to the instructions for the product.
