Red Ribbons Rose (Rosa 'KORtemma') - Planting & Care

Planting:

• Choose a location with well-drained soil and approximately 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
• Dig a hole that is slightly wider and deeper than the root ball of the rose plant.
• Mix compost or organic matter into the soil to improve drainage and fertility.
• Place the rose plant into the hole, ensuring that the bud union (swollen area where the rose was grafted onto the rootstock) is level with or just slightly above the soil surface.
• Backfill the hole with soil, gently firming it around the roots to eliminate air pockets.
• Water thoroughly after planting.
• Space multiple Red Ribbons Rose plants approximately 2-3 feet apart to allow for adequate air circulation.

Care:

• Watering: Roses prefer regular deep waterings rather than frequent shallow ones. Provide enough water to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods.
• Fertilizing: Feed Red Ribbons Rose with a balanced rose fertilizer, following the package instructions. Apply the fertilizer in early spring, after the last frost, and repeat every 4-6 weeks throughout the growing season.
• Pruning: Prune Red Ribbons Rose in early spring, before new growth begins. Remove dead or damaged wood, as well as any crossed or crowded branches. Shape the plant by cutting back one-third of the oldest canes to encourage new growth.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the rose plant to help conserve moisture, suppress weed growth, and regulate soil temperature.
• Pest and Disease Control: Regularly monitor for common rose pests such as aphids, thrips, and spider mites. Treat as necessary using organic or chemical insecticides. Use a fungicide to prevent or treat fungal diseases like black spot or powdery mildew.
• Winter Protection: Red Ribbons Rose is generally hardy, but in colder climates, provide winter protection by adding an extra layer of mulch around the base of the plant and covering it with a protective material like burlap.
