Harvest blooms in the morning when flowers are freshest and petals are just opening to maximize their color, fragrance, and longevity in the vase. The spreading growth habit provides continuous harvests throughout the growing season for those who enjoy bringing garden color into their homes.
Harvest flowers in the early morning when petals are just opening and the blooms are at their freshest. Cut with a clean knife that has been dipped in a solution of 10% household bleach to ensure clean cuts and prevent disease. Place cut stems immediately in water to preserve their beauty and extend their vase life indoors.
The spreading growth habit of this rose cultivar benefits from light pruning to encourage fuller branching and more prolific flowering.
