Growing and caring

Bobby James is an unpretentious variety to care for. However, timely care for the plant will help achieve abundant and long-lasting flowering.

  • Watering. On average, water should be applied to the soil 1-2 times a week. During a drought, it is recommended to increase the volume of water, and in rains, watering can be stopped altogether. 1 bush should have up to 20 liters of liquid.
  • Top dressing. At first, the rose should be fertilized with organic matter, and during the flowering period, preference should be given to mineral compositions, where there is phosphorus and potassium. This combination will speed up the growth of the bush and help the flowers develop.
  • Garter. Large and long shoots should be tied to supports so that the rose has something to cling to and where to move on.

Additionally, it is worth taking care of weeding and loosening the soil. This will prevent the spread of pests and diseases, as well as accelerate the flow of nutrients to the root system. The procedures are best done after watering.

Pruning

Gardeners are advised to cut dry and damaged stems closer to winter, when the bush fades. It is also worth getting rid of unripe shoots so that the plant does not waste its energy on feeding them. Finally, pruning of faded buds should be carried out so that the bush looks attractive, and the shoots can begin to form new flowers.
