🌹 English Rose 

English Roses are beloved for their classic, old-world charm combined with modern vigour. Known for their full, layered petals, rich fragrance, and repeat-flowering ability, they come in shades ranging from blush pink and peach to vibrant reds, yellows, and whites. Perfect for gardens, balconies, hedges, and large pots — English Roses bring romance, elegance, and timeless beauty to any outdoor space.

🔆 Light Requirements

• Ideal Light: Full sun — 6–8 hours of sunlight daily ensures maximum blooms.

• Tolerates: Light shade for part of the day, especially in hot climates.

• Avoid: Deep shade — it results in weak growth and very few flowers.

💧 Watering Guidelines

• When to Water: Water when the top 2–3 inches of soil feels dry.

• Frequency:

  • Summer: 2–3 times per week

  • Winter: Once per week or as needed

• Important: Water deeply at soil level — avoid wetting leaves to prevent fungal issues.

🌾 Soil & Potting

• Soil: Rich, well-draining soil with organic matter.

• Ideal Mix:
  ✔ Garden soil
  ✔ Compost or well-rotted manure
  ✔ Sand or perlite for drainage

• Pot: Large pot (12–18 inches or bigger) with drainage holes if grown in containers.

🌱 Fertilization

• Feed: Every 3–4 weeks during growing and blooming season.

• Best Fertilizer Types:
  ✔ Rose fertilizer
  ✔ Organic compost
  ✔ Bone meal (for flowering)
  ✔ Epsom salt monthly (promotes strong foliage and blooms)

• Avoid: Heavy fertilizing in winter when the plant rests.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Deadheading: Remove spent blooms regularly to encourage repeat flowering.

• Seasonal Pruning:

  • Major pruning in late winter or early spring to shape and encourage new growth.

  • Light trimming during the season to maintain form.

• Airflow: Keep branches open and spaced to prevent diseases.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

• Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity with good airflow.

• Temperature: Ideal range is 15–32°C (59–90°F).

• Protect: From frost and cold winds — winter mulching is recommended in cooler regions.

🌼 Blooming Notes

• English Roses are repeat bloomers — flowering in cycles throughout the growing season.

• Best performance comes from:
  ✔ Full sunlight
  ✔ Regular feeding
  ✔ Proper pruning
  ✔ Deep watering
