Basic Care Tips
Plant Bessie Rose in a sunny location with fertile, well-drained soil. Provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to support healthy growth, strong stems, and repeat blooming. Water deeply when the top layer of soil begins to dry, and keep the plant well ventilated to reduce disease pressure. Prune after flowering to encourage new stems, maintain a balanced shrub shape, and support multi-season bloom production. Regular feeding during the growing season can help improve flower size, petal fullness, and overall plant performance.

Rose Planting and Care Guide
Light
Roses thrive in sunlight. During the growing season, they need at least 6 hours of direct light each day. Without sufficient light, they may not bloom — or the blooms may not fully develop.
Temperature
Roses prefer a cool to warm climate, with an optimal temperature range of 18–28°C. When temperatures exceed 33°C, growth may slow. If exposed to intense sun and high heat, provide some shade during midday.
Soil
Use loose, well-aerated, nutrient-rich soil with good drainage. A recommended mix: 40% peat moss, 20% coconut coir, and 40% garden soil.
Water & Fertilizer
Water regularly, but be careful not to overwater. When planting, use organic sheep manure as a base fertilizer. For weekly feeding, a diluted water-soluble fertilizer works well throughout all stages of growth.
Pruning
Prune regularly based on growth needs. Remove diseased branches, deadwood, thin stems, overly dense growth, spent blooms, and excessively long branches by cutting them back. When removing old branches, cut them off at the base.
