🌱 How to Care for Cécile Brunner Rose to Prevent Spider Mites?

💧 How to Water

Water deeply and infrequently at the base of the plant rather than misting the foliage; increase frequency during hot weather, sandy soil, or container growing, and always water in the morning so leaves dry quickly and fungal disease is discouraged.

☀️ Lighting

Plant in full sun with at least 6 hours of direct light daily; morning sun is especially beneficial because it dries overnight dew and reduces the risk of black spot and powdery mildew. It tolerates a few hours of afternoon shade but blooms best in full sun.

🪴 Ideal Soil

Grow in fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (about 6.0-7.0). It adapts to sandy, loamy, clay, or chalky soils as long as drainage is good, and benefits from a layer of organic mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
