Care for Japanese rose

In early spring, we remove the oldest and diseased shoots, cutting them at the base. In addition, we can shorten thicker, strong shoots by 1/3 of their length so as to make the plant bushy. In the case of strong rejuvenation pruning, we cut all shoots – the oldest at the base, and the remaining ones at a height of about 20 cm. We fertilize the wrinkled rose with organic fertilizers. The plant is fully resistant to frost, soil salinity and air pollution.
