In order for the plant to develop well, the bush must be pruned in late winter or very early spring, when the air begins to warm up, but the juices have not yet begun to move. First, you need to remove the dead remains of the branches, then proceed to remove the old stems. At the end of pruning, all exposed branches must be treated with freshly prepared mulch. Thus, the plant will recover faster and give new branches.

Every spring it is necessary to feed the rose with mineral and organic fertilizers, as well as regularly loosen the soil, and remove organic residues from the ground.
