?How to care

Soil: Roses need a soil that drains well but holds moisture long enough for the roots to absorb it. loam soil is ideal. Treety gives you the best soil mix available.

Sunshine : Full sun is ideal. The plants need at least six hours of sun a day. We have some partly shaded areas that get early-morning and late-afternoon sun. Even though they’re not getting six continuous hours of sun, they do okay.

? Watering : Once a day.
