Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Shrub - Renewal
Plant Care: Shrub - Renewal (woody multi-stemmed plants that lose their leaves every winter and look best on younger stems, which emerge from the base of the plant): Prune regularly to promote health, provide air circulation, maintain a desirable shape, and to remove dead or damaged branches. Pruning is best done in late winter to early spring for most shrubs. With spring blooming shrubs, prune after the blooms are spent. When pruning, remove 1/3rd of the oldest branches by cutting at the base of the shrub. Monitor for pests, diseases or other ailments on a regular basis.

Garden Staff Tips & Insights:

Edibility notes: Rose petals can be eaten fresh or candied, they can be infused in drinks, or added to salads for a nice pop of color. Rose hips are also edible raw, though the seeds should be avoided as they cause stomach upset. They are more frequently used in jams, jellies, and herbal teas.
