With minimal care requirements, Desi Roses are perfect for gardeners seeking robust plants with regular flowering and cultural charm.

🔆 Light Requirements

Ideal Light: Full sun — 6–8 hours daily for maximum flowering.

Tolerates: Partial sun, especially in hotter climates.

Avoid: Deep shade — results in sparse blooms and weak growth.

💧 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 weekly or as needed

Important: Water deeply at soil level — avoid wetting leaves to reduce fungal diseases.

🌾 Soil & Potting

Soil: Well-draining, fertile 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 container-grown.

🌱 Fertilization

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

Best Fertilizer Types:
✔ Rose fertilizer
✔ Organic compost
✔ Bone meal (encourages flowering)
✔ Epsom salt monthly (strengthens foliage and blooms)

Avoid: Heavy feeding during winter dormancy.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

Deadheading: Remove spent blooms to promote repeat flowering.

Seasonal Pruning:

• Major pruning in late winter or early spring for shaping and new growth.

• Light trimming during the season to maintain form.

Airflow: Keep branches spaced to prevent diseases.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity and good airflow.
